That's what pisses me off - when healer thinks he's a dps and that this is his main job, completely ignoring the fact he actually need to... it may be unbeliveable, but... heal. I prefer going slower but safe instead of wiping endlessly because healer thought that spamming Holy is more important than his tank dying because he thought he will have time to use Benediction on 10 HP moment.

That said, if people pick healer role with a mindset "heal as less as possible and dps as much as possible" - they aren't suitable for this role, despite the fact high end contect asks them to dps on a decent level.
If a healer is truly capable of letting you drop to 150 HP before they heal you, and can do so consistently without letting you die, then they're an amazing healer. A healers job is to keep you alive, keyword: alive. As long as you don't hit 0 due to unavoidable damage, they did the healing part of their job well enough.
