It's a side effect of the gameplay being so focused on killing things. The narrative goes the same way, and characters NOT focused on doing that don't fit that well.

I know in my head (and RP), my character sticks around after those large battles to take care of all the wounded on the battlefield, from both sides. It's exhausting, depressing work, especially as all the killers leave the scene to leave her (and the other healers) to it. The game rarely tends to play that up and never really expects the WoL to do it, but I tend to feel it's exactly what a healer WoL would do. If the war is inevitable, save what lives you can.
You hit the nail dead center. I'd imagine many career healers share the same difficulty and frustration we do and have to develop an intricate background for their WoLs in order to accept that their healer is a killer.

Maybe in 5.0, healers will get a little more spotlight, but can understand it can be difficult to implement them into MSQ cutscenes as the WoL.
