EX Trials can be done without healers because the first EX has a pathetic 5 total cases of unavoidable raid damage. The 1HP at the start, a stack, a bleed, 2 more stacks ...and there's another bleed but the boss doesn't even live that long. That's it.
Dungeons could be done without healers in the past too because they're also a joke. I used to do Expert in ShB with a tank and 3 dps. Several Experts were fully soloed by tanks too even while current content.

Tank sustain at 95th percentile ranges from 500-1500hps. Which sounds like a lot (and is quite decent) but in reality an amazing WAR fully utilizing their sustain barely does half of a 10th percentile healer who is barely even uses their toolkit. Not to mention GNB's or DRK's who are much less.

The reason healers have nothing to heal is because there's nothing to heal. Enemies just aren't dealing damage unless the party makes constant mistakes. If a healer was dropped in EX, it's not because the tank stole their job. It's because they have no job to do, so the measly 1k hps on the side can easily fill in for them.

Also for that EX solo, all 6 dps have raid heals.
