Really though, remember when we actually did our jobs because they had functionality beyond just adding dps? Nowadays it's "just burn it and don't worry about mitigation/healing". RDM's healing? Nah just let the RDM dps constantly and let the healer do their job. Same with ressing for that matter. May as well wipe and do it right the 2nd time everyone's together than take 2 years regaining mana and trying to dps while weakness is in effect.

It's not really about the parse and more about not doing someone else's job. Actually using clemency in a meaningful way is extremely difficult. Considering the healer kit is more than sufficient to never require the use of clemency and the fact that a lot of healers don't heal the moment any damage is taken often times it's far to late once you realize the healer is struggling. Yes it's nice that pld and rdm have a heal but I think it's fair to say they shouldn't be expected to babysit health bars for the healer. A lot of healers don't overheal so somehow on top of doing their job a rdm or pld are also expect to read the mind of the healer and know whether or not they're struggling or just avoiding overhealing or have a huge heal off cooldown.

There's just so many variables at play that it just makes much more sense to say these classes aren't healers, it's nice they can do it in a pinch but they shouldn't be expected to read minds.
