First, most jobs and roles get more boring the better you get at them. That's just what getting good means. Second, the actual fighting parts of MSQ are usually dull, but even more so for healers because they design one instance for every role, so of course healers are going to suffer the most from it. Third, everything in this game is optional. If you wait an expansion you can just bypass MSQ with a story boost. Fourth, if you don't have fun on the healers but enjoy tanking, then swap until SE fixes it? That's kind of the point of having the ability to play 20 jobs whenever you want. I stopped playing Tank in SB because they bored me and played melee instead. You can still fight the fight of having SE make the changes you want in a job or role to how you want, but at the end of the day if they don't you either have to bite the bullet or swap jobs/roles. Literally every job and role has seen it's highs and lows.
Finally, this game is currently made with a low skill floor and a low skill ceiling. That's just business 101. In order to appeal to as many people as possible they have to design all the jobs that way to ensure even the most mediocre of player can do their job/role somewhat optimally. This is good game design for the masses, but hurts the most hardcore players who like a challenge. However, the hardcore players are a minority compared to the rest. It's just how it is. Look at the massive drop of skill ceiling and rise of skill floor from HW to now and ask veteran players how jobs used to be to see this direction.
Like I said, fighting for the changes you want is fine, it's just better if you keep in mind the certain direction they have in place for the game and helps if the items pushed can be squeezed into that reality. Asking for 10 more dps buttons and a more complex rotation for all healers REALISTICALLY won't happen. It might, but given that they have stepped further and further away from that leads me to think they won't. Asking for enrages in NM fights or twice as much damage in Normal content REALISTICALLY probably won't happen either, given the nature of who the target audience for those fights are.
