Is healing broken?

Healing is very rewarding in FF by allowing you dps options if you can optimize coverage and clear content quicker. It shows you'vegotten better. Everyone likes a self skillcap gain pick me up

I would disagree with this. Yes, optimizing your healing does let you do more damage. But, the "reward" is the privilege of spamming your 2-3 DPS buttons more

Eh play AST? I have been a WHM main since 2.0 and love the class, and if it's not due to my static need I would still be maining it, simplicity + raw power what more can one ask for.

But AST is super fun to play. I would argue there is very little "optimization" playing a WHM given how straight forward it is. But AST ... AST feel like playing an actual DPS who can heal, rather than a healer DPSing. (by that I mean in term of mechanic, not the output).
