Actually to be faire. thats pretty much how healer has been intended since day one. I'm not a fan of that but it is simply how they designed the class. Probably to suit the originals final fantasy that never had a character doing only heals.

During normal dungeon grouping you probably won't get called for not dpsing. But healing requirement are so low during dongeons that I find myself starring at my screen doing nothing when I'm not dealing damage.
Seems like you won't reach the damage requirement if your healer don't deal damage in harder content but I couldn't tell since I'm not participating int hose.
