The window of opportunity is shrinking and I kinda doubt they can get healer-dedicated staff until 7.0 unless they had already proven to get them before the expac reveals.
Sadly this is probably true.

But this would mean we'd get the same healer design going into 6.0 and from there it tends to be set in, they almost never do full role reworks. This would mean the new healer would be a 2 button dps, we'd still have very little to heal but they'd be convinced all we do is heal and would "helpfully" shove buckets of Det and Piety all over our gear sets. Remember we've had 0 communication in the form of "we have been listening to your feedback and plan to address this". The AST changes basically just removed MP as a resource and reduced APM a little. And this is the team starting work on 6.0 at this very moment.

It's quite worrying.
