Why not?
Because it's not the same.
It's a healer using DPS spells. That's their whole MP management shtick.

Healers: Manages MP by balancing DPS vs healing, their role vs bonus damage.
RDM and SMN: No MP issues unless they raise, stepping outside of their role.
DRK and BLM: MP management integral to job mechanics.

Physical DPS are the only ones who were arbitrarily gimped for doing their core job role too much.
