If your DPS is standing there not attacking that 2% left mob, then they are simply not doing their job. The tank AND the DPS should still be attacking mobs at all times; the tank to maintain threat, and DPS because killing junk is their job. In fact, NIN/SAM/BRD has execute skills designed specifically for this purpose.

It shouldn't fall to the healer of all people to finish off almost-dead mobs. That's just ludicrous. DPS are given skills that allow them to go on forever without having to worry about MP. Melees never run out of TP (unless they are spamming AoE which they shouldn't be for long). A Healer who is out of MP, though, is dead weight to the group and will likely cause a wipe if the mob/boss doesn't die or someone/something gives the healer some MP.

Therefore, it is better that the healer not waste MP when it is not necessary. DPS is icing on the cake for a healer; not their primary duty.
