I find the meta game of "Heal as little as possible and DPS HARRRD!!11 or get dissed by the community." absurd.
I wanted to do that, SE, I would have rolled a DPS class.

For the record: I have no problem with filling my downtime with a few DPS spells, but "filling downtime" should not amount to 80% of what I am doing when playing the game as a healer. Especially in non raid content.
Nobody will ever convince me DPSing as a healer is a bad thing. Or even that it's a bad thing that it's a huge chunk of what you do. You're on the front lines with everyone else. Yes your job is to patch people up, but your job is also to deal damage.

What's the best way to heal? Make sure your men don't get hurt in the first place. What's the best way to prevent your men from getting hurt? Kill the guy trying to hurt them. Yes, patch up your men if they do get hurt, but they're big boys, they can handle a few scrapes and bruises before you need to do that.
