If and only If there's actually enough outgoing damage going out that the difference in mitigation would be noticeable (like Godka or something like that). Given that right now most invulns exist strictly as convenience tools, and most healers have tools to spare, I sorta doubt that it would be that big of a deal even if healer design remained the exact same.
...except HW PLD couldn't block magic, and ShB DRK has had much taken away from its kit, where if the inverse were to be true HW DRK would have the complexity and resource management myself and others want, and ShB PLD has all the kinks in it's kit ironed out save for the botched nerf that is ShB Cover.

Besides from your own merit... PLD/GNB do have true invulnerabilties, whereas WAR/DRK have death immunities. Like, that's literally how their "invulns" operate.
