I find it hard to believe it's same treatment though . DPS roles unlock more offensive abilities as they level up, so do healers more healing abilities. If you remove those offensive abilities for the sake of comparison, then you should remove lots of healing abilities from healers. Healers then will be forced to use more GCD heals than before due to lack of abilities, resulting a totally different playstyle from we currently have now.

Current healers don't play this way, or at least, optimized ones. This dreadful 1 button spam comes partially from the extensive tools we have for healing. If we strip abilities away from healers in the same scale as you do from that of Dragoon, healers will have to juggle between healing GCD and offensive GCD, which somehow lessens this 1 button spam issue to an extent.
