Red Mage needs a heal less than Summoners do. They don't have a pet to manage and keep alive to maintain a large chunk of their DPS.

As for Chocobo healers, I could always spend my seals on plenty of dead peppers to keep enough to switch between healer Chocobo and DPS Chocobo, but right now I prefer DPS just because it's extremely redundant to have a healer Chocobo while I play a healer. I use my companion for more damage, not more healing in that instance.
