DPS Classes doesn't have healing skills, healers have DPS skills.

DPS Classes doesn't have healing skills, healers have DPS skills.

I'm all for rectifying that, tho.

But healers might no longer be taken into content as a result, considering how low it's tuned on healing.

They wouldn't be. Of the four recent dungeons, I think only Balesar's Wall might have too much aoe damaging from the second boss to push through without a healer. Xelphatol and Gubal were a joke at release and Solm Al just never does enough damage. Warrior's self healing is absurd.

I think you missunderstood lol

I was saying: Healers "have to do" 2 jobs at once: Healing and Dpsing?
But DPS/Tank classes only DPS/Tank and dont heal the party? They only do 1 thing?

In Short
(In dungeons: )
Healers = Healers
Not Healers = DPS + Healer class

Tanks don't do DPS in this game? And Bards and Machinists don't use support abilities, because they're DDs and not support, obviously...

Sarcasm aside, all jobs in this game are meant to use all of their useful abilities in a way that's most beneficial to their party. There's no reasonable justification to limit your performance only to certain set of abilities - for any job.

Most DPS have support skills they should be using. E4E, Goad, Virus, Mage's Ballad - thats not DPS, but they should be doing them. Should they not use those skills because they don't do damage? Plus, proper DPS rotations are harder than any healers'.

Tanks have DPS stances currently and that trend continues in Stormblood. Unlike healers they still have to shift between the two. What they did for us starting in Stormblood is made it so that we don't have to cripple our healing ability to use our DPS skills. Our damage will scale off mind so 'stopping dps' will be as easy as cancelling our cast and tossing out a heal. No more worrying about switching stances and someone dying before you can get a heal out.

Think of it less like having to perform two roles, and more like "everyone else is hitting something every 2.5 seconds, I only have to heal like three times per minute, and I have these skills at my disposal that are useful, so why not use them?"

All of those damage skills are part of the job, and it's not like you're expected to dps in the same way a dps does, with a rotation and cooldowns and all that jazz. You aren't ACTUALLY performing two roles at all.
