The Healer Double Standard

[Deceptus]

Im going to ignore all of the " ohh dont complain until release ppl". Since i am actually curious, so here is the thing as far as i understand it, i could be completely off base here, one of the reasons why the simplified the healers dps rotation is so it can be accesible to new or not as good healers but and here is what i dont understand about their desing choices, lets assume that healers are going to be healing 95% of the time (only in new content ofcourse from 1-70 ...it will be very bland) doesnt that high percentage imply that a single mistake from a healers now weights even more than before, making the healers role harder? So they want to attract new players to the role by making it more "simple" but make the new content super challenging, would not that make new players even more reluctant to play a healer?

We know SE will never put the damage in casual content to such that anyone couldn't viably heal it. The few times they did people screamed for nerfs (Steps of Faith, Shinryu).

So the whole rework is kind of pointless, since there is a somewhat high posiblity that even if the content at launch is hard it will be nerfed and healers will go back to whatever percentage of healing they are doing now but with more down time, since they made the pet, card and dps managament very streamlined? So why change it at all?
