Who cares if most healers don't DPS in dungeons? Why would that need to have ANY impact on what the toolkit should look like for balanced healer design?

AST and SCH get BOTH their utilities to increase party DPS AND their personal DPS. With all of the ways to regenerate MP for other members, I'm EXTREMELY skeptical that MP efficiency will play a meaningful role in how much either healer can DPS in 4.0. Maybe I'm wrong though. When has FFXIV ever let us down??
