Now, after everyone gears up, yes, healer dps matters less because geared DPS picks up more of the slack but in new tiers healer dps is essential for a clear.
Let me make this straight right here and now, I am not saying healer DPS is not needed to clear current savage. You want something to drop? Drop that right here and now. I am not about to engage in this stupid argument again. This has absolutely nothing to do with any points I am attempting to get across. In the post you quoted, I am clearly saying healers should DPS to make the encounter easier to clear. If this to you means that healers don't need to contribute, this is your own flaw in comprehension.

That is not what my posts or this thread is about. It is about the validity of using shields in PvE.
