What are the most common reasons people don't dps?

Unfortunately AST is the closest to a "pure healer" we'll most likely ever get, their lack of DPS can somewhat be excused by them fiddling with their cards and they only really need to bother with Combust and Malefic, but are of course still expected to use them during downtime.

Any less and they wouldn't have any DPS skills, which would make leveling them up/soloing just a teeny bit tricky.
