He/she would be the ultimate selfless warrior saving lives if they were a battle lusting White Mage. So what would it even say if the Warrior of Light White Mage gave into battle lust and still ended up being completely different then Zenos? If Zenos is a shadow, he's not a very good one. Is he only a shadow to Samurai only because he wields a katana?
I must reiterate - if they let battle lust override their concern for the common good. If they decided that nothing mattered except for getting good fights, consequences (positive or negative) be damned.

As for healers? Well, you brought up Kenpachi Zaraki a while ago, so you have some familiarity with Bleach. Did you just watch the anime, or did you read the manga to the end? It has the perfect example of why combat healers aren't necessarily purely benevolent. It details that Retsu Unohana, the captain of the medic division, was the first Kenpachi (Zaraki taking it up as a title later on), and her zanpaku-to heals people so she can keep fighting them.

Think about what a healer does - they stand back and watch as someone else gets cut, stabbed, shot, set on fire, electrocuted, etc. and they heal them so it can continue (maybe not forever, but there will be later battles to do this all over again). What does that say about them, really?

There is the potential for perverse desire, even in offering succor to those in need.
