Heal more instead of dpsing

[Gmot]

As a healer main, I normally agree. However, I was running Matoya's as a DNC, I kid you not, she did not heal anyone. I stayed on half health and healed myself for a majority of the boss fights (which also led me to die once due to having to get a vuln stack since she refused to move for something and I had to change directions.) She would let the tank ht maybe 10k health on pulls before she'd stop casting DPS spells. Sometimes, honestly, stop DPSing and heal more.

Matoya is a bad example, given that the damage going out is so low, and it serves as the primary example of the problem. Warriors can solo heal the entire thing without breaking a sweat, and while this is doable in other dungeons, its particularly effortless in Matoyas.

You can get by pretty easily with minimal healing on DRK as well, can't say much for PLD/GNB since I don't play those 2 much
