Why do you think it is not their job to help with DPS? Do you think it is enough for them to cast one heal every now and then and just idle the rest of the time? If yes, why do you think it is alright? I'm actually curious. Most people that have that mindset don't answer more than "because I want to" or "because the role is called healer". Personally I can not understand why some people find it acceptable or even good if a player in their groups lets everyone else work for them while they can get away with only pressing a few buttons sometimes. I want to understand why others think otherwise.

It is veeery likely that in Shadowbringers there will still be a lot of downtime between healing needed. In the beginning maybe not as much as now. Maybe the healing requirements will indeed be a little higher with all these changes and instead of needing oGCDs almost exclusively we'll have to cast some GCDs here and there as well. But I'm like 100% sure there will still be enough downtime that healers will still be able to DPS a lot.
