I've been playing MMOs since FFXI came out about 13 years ago. I'm not a dedicated healer or nothing kinda guy, but I've always had one leveled to some degree. In FFXI if you were a in the healing slot, healing was all you did. World of Warcraft - same thing. You manage the ebb and flow of your mana pool while making sure no one takes a dirt nap. It's just a different groove than tanking or DD.

Since I can only speak for me, what would it take for me to pick up my WHM and take it all the way & fill one of those empty slots? Tune the game so my White Mage spends the same amount of his time healing as any given DD does dealing damage. Failing that? I'm just not interested, and I hope there are enough people that are interested to fill in the holes left by me (and others that are like minded).
