Encounter Design needs to be overhauled at a fundamental level

I'd prefer this as well. Give healers a proper and more engaging dps rotation. Doesn't have to be anything complex, just something more than spamming 1 button and keeping up 1 DoT.

Why bother? Most healers don't even use the DPS skills they have right now.

I wouldn't say "most". At least in my data center, I definitely see more than half the healers dps. It's only fair imo for players who get most competent at the role that they have something more engaging to do when there are no healing needs. Adding more complex dps rotation is an easy way to do this since it increases potential engagement in all combat content in this game (solo content as well) no matter the situation.

Why bother giving tanks defensive cooldowns? Most tanks don't use them anyway. /s

Why bother giving DPS self-buffs/combos/party buffs? Most DPS don't use them anyway. /s

Lowering the skill ceiling "because most healers are bad anyway" will just make good healers quit to more interesting jobs, or to other games with better healing gameplay.

A Complex DPS rotation on a healer wouldn't do well. Many DPS as it stands right now barely use more than 5 skills total, and not in any particular order either.

Good. I could use faster queues.
