I'm not sure why the threat of being bullied for not using your kit properly has to be a major consideration when it's not very prevalent at all.
    I'm into my cups this evening, so I'll share another anecdote: I was once the got-every-job-to-90-and-beat-EW healer in a Praetorium run (the re-worked for four people version) that caused a wipe on the final fight because I couldn't keep myself alive. Consider for a moment how tragically inattentive and inept you have to be to let that happen. Seriously. Let it sink in.

    How much flak did I catch for that? How much flak did I catch for not fulfilling my primary responsibility? None.

    Adding my own anecdote: back in ShB, I leveled WHM up to 71 not knowing wth I'm doing. Freecure? Yeah, I used those. I caused a couple of wipes sometimes. Nobody gives a $h!t. People were like "It's okay let's give it another try." The only time I started to change for better was at 71 where I had that disastrous Holminster where my inexperienced a$$ couldn't handle the pull with Freecures. I did dps when I could; it's when I had to heal, everything started to fall apart as I panicked.

    Did I catch any flaks? None, at all.

    Oh oh and also~.. I'm not entirely your 'angelic, kind'-healer too. I had a few 'petty outbursts' at rare times when my tank refuses to wall pull in a friggin' dungeons. What did I do? I purposely stopped being that competent Glare Mage and proceed on to use Cure I (and its equivalent on other healer) only. Any flaks? Again, none.
