So until that changes, just don't say or imply it's anything but "optional", because you'd be wrong... and that invalidates much of your argument, which is right in the context of efficiency (and non-lazy play). Basically, you're hurting the intent to get people to DPS as healers by spitting out manipulative statements.
Why should i walk on eggshells? My words are true, you've admitted it, getting caught up on a particular wording is doing nothing for the state of the game. You are coddling and tip toeing like saying the wrong thing is going to turn someone off from healing all together... have you considered maybe it should? If telling people to play their job (especially now that they have a foolproof safety net set up at the expense of an already low skill ceiling) is enough to make someone stop healing so be it. Its a role that certainly could use some fat trimming as it seems to attract people looking for an easy ride as opposed to people who have an actual passion for it.

But go on, continue your "I'm looking out for the little guys" spiel. Protecting them from the truth has helped so much already.
