And sorry but this stuff about dps and healers being designed differently doesn't really apply here given support abilities tend to be ogcds which can be woven into a dps rotation flawlessly if a player knows what they're doing. If I, a healer main, can use my support abilities without disrupting my rotation, then surely a dps main can too. It's not hard to click palisade, addle, feint, etc.
I agree with the first bit, but then you kind of lose me on the second half again. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that a DPS's free-time equates to what they can weave inbetween their GCD skills. They may have some support skills they can toss out, but that impact is minimal compared to what a healer can do in their free-time.

I don't do savage/current EXs, so use that to gauge where I'm coming from, but in a lot of the content that I run I can be out DPSing actual DPS on certain pulls. That may speak more of the DPS in party, but the damage that a healer can add isn't some small amount. A DPS's support skills will of course help, but they're not on the same level as healer DPS.
