Is the issue you’re pointing to that if there is nothing to damage, the healer can’t heal? You’re right that a something might need to be done about that. Or is it that a healer who heals through damage would have to do more damage than other healers? Because that’s just not true. To take a leaf out of disc priest, have an ability which makes an ally a healing target, and then make them heal for x% of all damage done by the healer. If you need the healer to heal more or less, you just change x. The healer can be doing the same amount of damage as the other healers, or more, or less. It doesn’t change how the class would function. Alternately, you could do a charge system. The healer’s special resource meter fills y% of the damage dealt by the healer. Again, if you want to change the amount of healing the healer does, you change y, to change the rate at which their special heals charge (of course, you’d have to give them some other heals as well, Scholar has heals both as part of aetherflow and not. It could be like that).

The long and the short of it is that there’s no reason a healer that heals through dps needs to do more dps than other healers. And I wouldn’t even say doing damage would be a higher priority for such a healer because let’s face it all healers ads already largely focussed on doing damage.
