I'd also take healer into expert just to go faster because I also don't trust DF healers to be competent. But it's more and more apparent that I (and many others) will have to drop the role as much as possible if we ever want anything done. So I'm done taking healer into anything other than my static runs. Sadly, won't be that hard since I wasn't enjoying it anymore anyways.
I've swapped off healer this expansion. I'm tired of playing healer in savage, I'm tired of how healers are always last in getting loot, and I'm tired of how playing healer in savage/ultimate almost guarantees that statics will pass you over if you want to play anything else than healer. I specifically don't enjoy what the designers did to Astrologian this expansion, and how White Mage is so far behind Astrologian that serious statics will force you to play Astrologian.

It's fairly difficult to get competent healers now, many of the groups I know have had to settle with subpar healers, and that hurt progression this tier.
