DPS is there to DPS. Period. If they heal to help out, great, if they peel adds off the healer, great. But neither are required as those are not requirements of the DPS role.

The problem is people have this mentality that DPS is part of the Healer role. It is not.
DPS isn't a byproduct if I subscribe to the healer mindset and use 1 aoe twice in a pull. Basically tiny damage, no impact, but I'll have threat and that's all I need right? I don't need to do anything else, because I'm there to tank. Just like that healer is there to heal. :^)

Or I can tank everything wall to wall, do damage output and mitigate to expedite the run.
