Tank healing is to high

But in turn, you're making my job less fun because yours is more fun to you.
Obviously, this means the jobs are not balanced and needs to be looked into.
No side should feel this way and now healers are fighting tanks because of it.

No, the GAME needs to be looked at, not my role. I shouldn't have to perform worse so that YOU can have more fun. The game's damage should go up, not my healing go down.

The game was never designed with GCD heal spamming in mind regardless, this is nothing new. This is LITERALLY HOW IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.

In the PoV of game-dev time/resource investment, if one tank can trivialize dungeons, out of the 4 tanks available, the problem is that 1 tank, not a redesign of 3 other tanks and all the dungeons.

I've been trivializing dungeons with every single tank since ARR. The only time dungeons were threatening was that weird period where tank stance wasn't available on PLD until 40. They do not balance, and will not ever balance the game around dungeons. In fact that is the specific reason the devs have said they don't plan on adding extra content like WoW's Mythic+ dungeon system. The game is NOT balanced around 4 man content.

Thats what we're talking about the one tank that needs to be adressed is DRK because he is the only one that feels bad in dungeons.

I can understand the resistance against turning healers into support DPS, and instead wanting the healing itself be intense and engaging, but I've yet to hear a single realistic way you could rebalance the game to work like that.

Take a look at the healer forums. We have asked this time and time and time again.
The only reason I even mentioned the Support DPS because they haven't done anything to remedy current issues.
So the next best thing is to just move us to DPS. *Shrugs* People already scream at us because we don't DPS enough.

You're right, it was "Press 1 DPS button forever as a healer" instead. So you get to use all your spells and skills and I use 1 and occasionally 2.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. We won't see eye to eye so I'll leave it at that. I just want healers to not be crap is all. I don't really want any role/job to be bad.
