In single group pull, the healer can spend more GCDs on dps. This isn't about whether or not a healer is "comfortable"... it's simply math and mechanics. The only exception might be if the tank is DRK if they are very experienced and use the proper rotation.
I'm understanding perfectly, but what you're saying isn't true. Yes they're taking more damage, but at the same time because they can use their aoe spells to do that much more damage in a larger pack, the one gcd they used on doing damage is doing THAT MUCH MORE compared to the gcds the spent on the single pulls. Then you throw in how healing in this game is atrociously easy when it comes to healing damage, that argument isn't really solid because if they are doing single pulls most healers are just doing their simple stone stone stone rotation. Every healer has spells that benefit much more when done on large packs vs smaller ones. What you're saying makes sense logically, they're taking more damage and therefore need more healer gcds, but you're discounting that they're doing more damage each spell and things are dying faster over the course of the dungeon, aoe spells can stun and heal others, etc. You're making it too simplistic for your arguments benefit.
