Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Part of me hopes they'll go all the way with the idea and in trials & raids one of the healer slots will be specific to pure healers and one will be for shield healers.
Split the role.

They'll never do that, any more than they'd split the DPS slots between melee, ranged, and caster (or, hell, split any slot to avoid duplicate jobs). It would just slow down the queue if there were too many of one slot.
