What's up with healers not healing?

... I gotta say.. never had this happen before. Who are you people partying with ?

I've seen auto attacking DPS, paladins without shields.. Dark knights who hate grit... never seen a healer ONLY DPS-ing.

Check "Tales of the Dutyfinder"-topic.
There was a story about Zurvan where both heals only dps'd and never ever healed.
Some guy even had the guts to defend it because "they didnt wipe and they might have been negleting their main job, but at least they tried maximizing dps, which is more important than healing the tanks."

Thankfully, being the one who posted it, a quick search through my "recent posts" section of my profile allowed me to do this:

Since I'm here...

I find the "DPS only" healers are far fewer in number then any other type of healer. Most of my random PUG runs consist of "Heal only" healers or healers who know they can DPS and try to squeeze in DPS. (With varying success) Doesn't change the fact that the ever rare elusive "DPS only" healers do exist in this game sadly. That link I provided to the "Tales from the Duty Finder" thread explains in detail of one of my very few run ins with "DPS only" healers, and how bad that is for group survival.
