Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

That comes off as dismissive, impatient, and accusatory, especially the "we'll wait for you" part.

I dont think it was rude. If you are looking to be offended then maybe but unless it was :

"Wow, you are terrible at healing. Havenʻt you even read your spell abilities? Go on then, read them. Weʻll wait for you while you waste our time."

that comes off as WAY more dismissive, impatient, and accusatory than what lezard posted

It's all based off interputation. What's offensive to you may not be to others and vice versa. End of the day if they took offense that's on them, all you can do is try to explain and clear up the misunderstanding if such devastation was not your intention.

This is just another reason on why not to offer unsolicited advice. Just saying "Would you like some advice?" implies the player is doing something wrong, and a lot of people don't like that. They take that statement as passive-aggression, heck, a lot of times it is passive-aggression.
