Even underwhelmed by the other DPS jobs (mind you, the BLM problem is not personal DPS per se, but the lack of party utility, what hinders his rDPS), BLM have at least twice as damage as any healer out there if he have the right equips and puts effort on doing damage. And it's obvous, because the BLM spells have more potency and he don't have to stop its rotation to heal at least the tank. And BLM have more damaging spells. Holy (200-pot) don't do as much damage as Foul (650-pot), Fire IV (468-pot on AF3) or Flare (468-pot on AF3). To this BLM doing less damage than a WHM, he must be spamming Fire II (144-pot on AF3).

Or there are healers doing 5K~6K DPS on O4S and I'm not knowing? If so, please, show the parse of someone doing that. I need some inspiration for leveling a healer.

10~15% damage is significant, yes. That 1~1.5 minute gained with healer DPS on a 10 minute run can transform a enrage into a clear. But the tendency to overestimate the healer DPS contribution... Hmmm...
