Also, I find it odd that such a healer would be worried about being able to contribute to the DPS when they are telling the tank to slow down in order to allow them to do so. The only reason for a healer to do any DPS is to speed things up. Your post makes very little sense here.

I'm not advocating for huge pulls- as a DPS, I find it annoying when I'm playing a BLM and have to chase the tanks for half a mile before I can unload a few nuclear bombs.
What else are healers supposed to do? This game's content hits like a wet noodle. Healers place so much emphasis on their DPS because they'd be AFK otherwise. When the current Expert dungeon bosses can't break 50,000 on their busters despite the tank having several vuln stacks, it highlights just how little healing is actually required.

As for your BLM. Those "nuclear bombs" will deal significantly more damage on a pack of ten mobs than three. So waiting until the tank has everything gathered up is far better than wanting baby pulls.
