SE the majority of healers want damage abilities

[Gemina]

Haha, when my healers told me it was a loss I said "but you can't use EVERY gcd on attack spells" to which they both replied "actually yes you can"

So I gave up lol

Even this late into the expansion it isn't necessarily true that we can entirely avoid GCD healing. If your ogcds are on CD and you need to heal, you don't have much choice. Though this is going to happen more in leveling content and PUGs. GCDs are also still spent on regens, shields, and cleanses, so unless they've gone full blown green DPS, they are still using some GCDs towards healing.
