New healer spawned by the time we got to the final boss. I was able to heal and DPS as RDM. Other than Erase, RDM only has GCD heals. We still managed to get through it in 20 minutes.

It's completely doable if the group adjusts.

inb4: "well you were RDM" or "doesn't count since that is an older story/not current expansion". For the first one, you didn't specify which tanks and which DPS. So RDM and PLD are on the table. Second, you didn't state which expansion this had to occur in.
Good job on illustrating my point.
First, that someone in the party was required to Heal in some capacity. In this case, you on your RDM. Every outgoing heal you had slowed the run down.
Second, you were reduced to a single pull only snail pace.

Now recreate that scenario in your head, but answer me this: How far would you have gotten if you hadn't taken over the role of Healer?

And to make sure you understand what I'm saying, The entire point of the challenge was to demonstrate that a Healer in the party contributes to the success and speed of the run without ever casting a damage dealing spell.
