Now lets go to the DPS subforum and tell ninjas and machinist that their job should do 1-2k less daps than every other dps job despite it being the fastest by APM. xD
Sigh.... so here we go again.

It's only 3 buttons if you ignore that a healer, every GCD, has to make a decision on if they can even push that button. And if they push a non-DPS button, there are decisions to make on how to spend or build resources, which would be most efficient, and so forth.

Pressing rampart or other CDs on a tank doesn't stop the DPS. There's no "Well I can't DPS this GCD because I need to build enmity or pop rampart". That's on top of free movement and mobility abilities.

In short, there's a lot more to it than button count.

Saying "how dare healers have kind of close DPS because we have a few more buttons" is a very poor argument. Also, there are healers that like to DPS just as much as tanks like to DPS, and a major theme of this thread has been their preferences are somehow less valid because WE ARE AWESOME STRONK TANKS HOW DARE SE LET HEALERS DPS LIKE US, or something.
