We avoid gcd heals as much as possible. So it seems like a natural convergence is in order there. So it makes sense to make healers just like tanks in that regard: have a good amount of instant gcd offensive actions, and then do most of the healing via ogcd weaving.
No, no, a thousand times no lol. They need to stop the trend of healers being DPS with healing abilities used as an after-thought; if anything they need to make DPS abilities be "second-class oGCD" and ramp up the incoming damage so that 75%-85% of non-movement keypresses are for healing related abilities.

Never going to happen but I can dream
