I'm not a huge fan of that, either, but my biggest issue lies elsewhere, that being the fact that we have a massive amount of healing tools and we don't even use a good chunk of them unless things are going horribly wrong. Fight design in this game encourages healers to OGCD heal while casting GCD heals only as a last resort. We get more healing abilities every expansion, but don't we have plenty already? At least give us something interesting, please.
For healers, I’d rather have a more interesting healing and buffing setup rather than a more complex DPS rotation. When we have to have a more complex DPS setup to keep us busy, that means the design for our purpose in the raid is flawed.

I’d rather have more buffs for DPS, mitigations, smart heals, maybe a 5 second window skip death option instead of rescue, etc. I don’t want to be a green mage, give healers more purpose, show some creativity.

Heavens forbid healers get a LB1 and 2 that actually do something…

Sadly, all we will get is more “safe plays”, it seems all of the creativity left us between ARR and HW.
