Healers need other ways to contribute to party DPS instead of boring filler spells.

That's like saying, tanks contribute enough just by holding hate

This I'd agree with. It is the tank's primary duty. The thing is damage is a form of enmity gain, so they have a reason to try to push their DPS.

Cool, I'll remember I can kill myself in AoEs or by jumping off the edge when it's possible - I'll just blame the healer, keeping me alive is their dps contribution after all.

Lol.

Alternatively, you could not be a sarcastic lout and put healers in impossible situations.

You could not directly insult people (which is against forum ToS) but considering this exchange started with you suggested healer dps was literally the party dps because they would die without the healer I don't think we are dealing in logic and reason.

Tanks, dps and healers should all be killing the enemies and doing the best to keep the party alive, it's just a matter of what your kit can do for that. A healer not dpsing is no better than a dps dragging AoE into the party - both are lazy, selfish and stupid.
