This.

People get worked up about the choice of term "pure healer" thinking the thing implied as therefore "not pure" is DPS. But the context of the two types being pure healer and barrier healer clearly indicates that barriers are the thing that makes them not pure healers because they're not just restoring damage that has already been done.
