Others are mad and want healer dps to be required in the dps checks.... like maybe Tonberry).

Stating that Yoshi has purposefully tuned the raids to require 0 healer DPS may be a bit misleading. It's more accurate to say that the raid DPS checks are tuned specifically with minimum Tank and DPS role contributions taken into account (excepting the Healer role).

It's a small distinction, but I believe that it's an important one. The first statement implies to me that healers should consider themselves exempt from any contribution beyond basic healing, so sayeth the Yoshida. The second statement acknowledges that the math in raid design deliberately doesn't account for healers, leaving it up to individual parties and players to determine the optimal degree of healer DPS participation.
