And then, there is the other side. More than once have i gotten critisized for not dpsing with astro, while i was keeping everyone at 100% health at all times and buffing like a crazy person. Yeah...how about no.

I find dpsing with a healer extremely boring , risky and unrewarding. Apart from your tanks getting destroyed, as has happened many times on last trial and in 70 dungs already, when you let a tank very low, he will have to use cooldowns that would have probably been needed at another time. And more importantly, when you let your actual dps on very low amounts of health, their will start prioritizing dodging and surviving than maximizing their dps output. Thats actual huge dps loss just because you wanna cast your crappy malefic/stone or w/e. In late HW, this didnt show that much because of the huge gap in gear, but thats not the case in SB especially with the shift from class difficulty to mobs/bosses difficulty. People need to understand this.
