Will Healers Still be Forced to DPS in 4.0 Due to Lax Content?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

A DPS' role in a dungeon is to DPS. I am not "shifting blame", I am holding the majority of DPS I come across accountable for not being able to perform their function. If DPS are competent and playing their roles correctly, healer DPT might save you a full minute on a run. Things will die quickly enough that a healer will barely have time to cast 2 AOEs. Just so we're clear. A healers role is to heal, DPS is an optional element for them, not a requirement.
Perhaps my solution should be to call out all the poor DPS I come across in party chat and then vote dismiss them, since that seems to be the acceptable way to treat healers.

First and foremost, healer DPS will shave off considerably longer than one minute. Just look at the video Cyrocco linked. Neither DPS performed poorly yet Taika still took over 21 minutes to complete Xelphatol-- a dungeon you can easily complete in 15 minutes or less. I have even managed to clear it in under ten, albeit that was a rare all raiders DF party. Regardless, you missed my point again. Taika's video demonstrates how inefficient she was when not DPSing. I'll reiterate, even a subpar damage dealer is still doing damage. A heal only healer is useless for large portions of the fight. While optional yes, people dislike seeing others do literally nothing while they pull do all the work, thus why non-DPSing healers draw the most ire.
