Current State of Tank+Healer Synergy

[Liam_Harper]

And if the amount of damage in certain duties is so high that it needs those self heals, then the problem isn't the strength of the tanks' kits, but the weakness of the healers'.

IMO, the heals on WAR, PLD, and GNB should be nerfed, and healers should get some buffs to their oGCDs to compensate.

Healers are not weak, they have ridiculously strong toolkits.

The only thing this really accomplishes is boring healers to death as they endlessly spam their one aoe and toss the tank an oGCD here and there. You wouldn't even need to buff healer oGCD's, decent DRK's are easy to heal in Experts.

What needs to happen is for instances to actually deal real damage even when the group isn't making mistakes. Heavy hitting boss auto attacks, more raidwides and bleeds, real tankbusters, mobs being a threat and so on. There's nothing wrong with tanks and healers having a good toolkit, but they need a reason to use it.

This 100%. Healers are becoming junky DPS.
