Once you step into the midcore, you'll see people quickly point out your lack of DPS regardless of your healing capabilities. Keep in mind, if you're doing EX Primals and especially Savage, someone will almost certainly have a parser running, which makes it very noticeable how much (or little) damage you're doing.
Well I can tell you that not once, in any EX, Savage, or Raid... have I ever seen anyone complaining about Healer DPS... unless its complaining they did it... which is absurd unless you failed to heal properly.

They blame the other DPS's for that, not the healer. I DO see that... a lot more often than you'd think, and usually its deserved the DPSs themselves aren't pulliing their own weight and get called out for it.

I HAVE seen them blame healers for not healing enough or not healing/shielding people during the correct times.... but not even ONCE have I ever seen the accusations fly at Healers for not DPSing. I haven't even seen it in dungeons.

Again I notice it when you do... but rarely if ever does anyone else notice.
