To the people defending the "no DPS since I'm a healer" stance, I just hope that, someday, you group with a summoner, you die, and then, when asking for him to raise you, he goes "Sorry, I play a dps to dps, not heal or do a healer's job."

Healing might be your MAIN role, but it's not your ONLY role.

Just like bards and mechs, summoners and ninjas with their goad, your main function might be to keep everyone alive, but you can do other stuff to help your group.
