    I've never, as a Healer, at ANY time, felt "humiliated" if DPS or Tanks throw out incidental heals. If it's at a time of the fight the extra healing is useful and just reduces the pressure on us Healers, I'm not going to complain. If it's at a time when it's kind of useless, then it doesn't matter, and I'm also not going to complain. If it's at a time where we can't likely keep everyone alive without it, then I'm thankful, not humiliated.

    It would take being a pretty egotistical, arrogant, and prideful Healer for one to complain or feel "humiliated" about such things.

    Bro, if a dps instead of using a skill that does 300/400/500/600 potency, uses a heal it just means that there's something wrong: it could be the healer/tank's lack of skill or even simply the entire party's lack of ability to manage the mitigations, for the simple reason that if it weren't, then that class would be staple and mandatory. Sure the rdm heal doesn't save the game if it has come to the point that it has to heal rather than do damage. The mitigations of the tanks are useful but because they are ogcd and do not penalize their rotation as are the mitigations of all dps.
    One thing is the ress actually saving a game because it doesn't save a single healer's GCD but saves ALL of a party member's future damage output, but healing GCD of a role that isn't meant to heal doesn't make sense. On the other hand, the ogcd heal by a dps does, because it effectively relieves the difficulty of a healer without him feeling primarily at fault and without making the dps feel obliged to sacrifice what he should do, damage.

    It's important that healers do damage, but it's equally important that dps that have higher damage output aren't forced to sacrifice it.
