It's a bit off topic, but I think "first clear" means different things for different groups: it may require healer DPS from the world first groups on the first few weeks, like you said. But from the "not-100%-optimal" groups it will require that for much longer, even with item level increase. The thing that doesn't make sense in that quote is that if you are able to DPS as a healer on your first clear in any content, the content won't get any harder than that, so you're supposed to DPS more on each following clear... Sorry about the off topic, that quote has been bothering me because it doesn't make much sense. :P
