Nah, that's what I thought. You can often get the same results without using everything at one's disposal, I assume you are capable of that occasionally, hmm?
Every class has actions that allow them to branch from their designated role, but this is not an expectation nor should it be enforced. The idea of being effective works in some situations but you are missing the point that everyone has their own play style and it is not for us to police or dictate what they do. This is going back to OP who only wants DPSing healers so they can have quick run, it's like someone asking to watch the cutscenes in 8man MSQ but being told to use the PF. It's essentially the same situation in that if you want a run to go a certain way, going in to DF and expecting everyone to play your own way comes across as arrogant. At the end of the day whether it's effective or not, there are more than one person in the party and success can be obtained without crying about a little lack of DPS. Sure that clears that up, but no doubt some unnecessary comment coming up...
