The thing is, you don't know if other healer wants to soloheal or if they just don't trust you to do your job. People not putting a slightest effort in assuring others they don't need to work they axes off for the group not to die is one of the reasons for this. The amount of "oh god, it's another one of these days of me solohealing, isn't it?" and "great, I'm gonna live on 5% all the time, ain't I?" is high. I saw enough entitled so called "healers" leaving tanks to die and then complaining about them not popping DCDs, despite tanks performing perfectly, I just don't trust White Mages I don't personally know anymore. I stopped allowing WHMs joining my PF groups cuz of all the Glaremages spamming 1 button with Assize on some special completely random occasion when other healers forced to use everything in their kit to prevent people from wipes on healchecks. Yes, that bad.
Oh, look, let's not include great heal+damage job in party because healer don't play as you want that. Listen, if people not heal you to 100% - its not need it right now. If person dies to avoidable aoe - its their fault, not healer. If person not want solohealing - he can say it. Right now, in THAT GAME (i think we play different games, dunno) if you not at last savage floor/ultimate, you almost don't need to heal with any GCD outside lilies. Some Affiatus Rapture + Tetra + Spam Assize is enought for heal almost every fight. So why need some other with that toolkit + co-healer?

If my co-healer does nothing, then I will have to heal because I have eyes and brains. Just like in the cases of tank wars, I just turn off the stance so that some fool does not turn the boss, pouring damage on the group. It’s probably very good to parasitize on people like me and then say that we are whining.
And as I say before - if your co-healer start healing unoptimal from start - why need to overheal? Tell me exactly that, not try to avoid that question.
