No, healer DPS was better before :

- Stone/Malefic/Broil was the filler. If you could land one more, it was the reward, the bonus, not your main button.
- We had 3 to 5 dots depending of the class (3 for AST and WHM, 5 for SCH), which was better because by the time the dot were ticking, you brought damage and could do something else. It was a better way to contribute to party damage since we're primarily healers.
- 1 to 2 oGCD damaging spell. WHM had Assize + Fluid Aura, SCH had (and still has) Energy drain.
+ Cleric Stance to swap Intel/MND to actually do damage.

So maybe it was a bit too much for some, but it was a least "enough".
Reducing these button were acceptable, but not in the way they did in ShB.
