Personally, I know it is an issue as well. I can't speak for savage/ultimate since I am not a participant, but I found it happening in all content outside of those. This was really bad back with pre SB Cleric Stance that gimped your healing in order to boost your damage.
Tunnel vision is not a design issue, it's a player issue. It happens to everyone and it doesn't mean that jobs need to be simplified, only that the player needs more practice. If the devs really want to do something about it they could increase how far we can zoom out but don't take fun out of the game because people who don't even need to worry about the full complexity of their job can't handle it.

It's no different from a dps staring too long at their bars to see what they can use next or focusing so hard on your one little part of the screen you don't see trouble coming from somewhere else. Should all dps and raids be dumbed down to account for these player mistakes? Of course not, and neither should healers. You practice and improve and feel good for it, that's what gaming (life, really) is all about.
