Ironically, I find I have significantly more problems with healers that only heal. I literally can't even remember the last time I died because a healer tunneled on DPS. Typically, a player that is focusing 100% on healing is doing so because they aren't comfortable with their role or are just plain bad, and end up managing their healing really poorly regardless.

I think one of the problems driving this thread is that people assume because they struggle with something, that everyone else does, because most people percieve themselves as average or even above-average. Just because you may have difficulty juggling healing and dpsing, doesn't mean that it's a common state for other players. The reason the mentality of healers doing damage is so widespread is because most players don't feel that it's difficult or risky, and it makes runs in all content significantly faster and smoother.
