Come on, some comments in this thread are ridiculous.

"Play a dps if you want to dps".

Please refrain from spouting bs when you are clueless.

Healers have been green dps since ARR, end of the line. Their gameplay has considerably worsened since pretty much SB. ShB rubbed salt in the wound and let's not talk about the spit in the face that was EW.

Now, not everything is grim and healers are again in a very good state but... only in pvp, where they mostly focus on burst/support (and cc but kinda irrelevant) with heals on a cd. In fact, if they could do away with their s*** pve constraints and bring over some of the pvp things they've added to pve, the game would be immensely more fun.
