Also again - Damage made from healers is, and will remain, optional. They can choose if they want to or not.
If you want to throw them out because of it: Fine. Nothing lost on my back.
Just don't expect a quick replacement in dungeons when the expansion hits, as everyone wants to play the new classes. Same goes with the tank.
