Are you not reading what people write? They WANT to heal. Nobody said they don't want to heal. But they CAN'T because there just isn't enough to heal. If everyone is full HP or at least safe, what am I to do? Continue heal spam just so I was healing? Pick my nose?
The problem is, that there isn't enough to heal.
On my very first E1S kill on WHM, my first raid ever when I was insecure and didn't know the fight safe for a video guide before getting thrown into it, over 50% of my casts were Dia and Glare. I was actually extremely careful with dpsing because I didn't know the fight well enough. And I still spent over half my time dpsing while healing a good chunk more than my co healer. Not because he was bad but because there wasn't more to do.

Which is why I switched to dps and won't touch healer unless stricly neccessary. Not because I prefer dpsing over healing but because if I spent the majority of my time dpsing, I want it to feel varied, rewarding and engaging.
Spenting over half my time pushing exactly two buttons isn't rewarding or engaging, it's boring and I despise it.
