Now for context, this was on our 3rd attempt after 2 wipes and the other 2 I died in the wipe, not beforehand. This was literally my first screw up, its not like I was constantly dying left and right to sheer idiocy and they were wasting mp keeping me up. Nope this is just bad/lazy heals.
Okay, yes you had one bad experience with a healer who'd rather Glare his enemies to death than raise you.
Bad luck, happens, move on. No need to make a huge issue out of this as if every healer does this. If you died indeed for the lack of healing AND he had left you lying on the ground for 1/3 of the fight, he was bad and that's it.

But usually when a dps drops and isn't immediately ressed, there's a good reason for it:
1. Swiftcast on CD but will come off CD soon (as in next ~10sec). Hardcasting Raise is a royal pain the butt.
2. Huge-ass aoe coming right up, chances are too high he immediately tanks the floor again
3. The dps is such a scrub that raising him is neither worth the time nor MP because he'll die again pretty soon
4. MP are supertight for whatever reason and LD/ TA etc is on CD. Better play safe and get back into healthier MP numbers until you use 1/4 of your MP.
5. The player is laying on the other end of the world and it will take some time until a healer reached him without eating a mechanic
6. He fell of a plattform. Don't fall of platforms.
