That's not 100% in that scenario, comparing healer threat to dps threat.

Healers with high threat could also indicate overhealing from the healer.

Assuming no deaths, threat is generally reliable in letting you know which dps is doing the highest dps overall in an encounter, the one with the highest threat among all the dps present in the party.
