What pure healers need is the ditch of "pure and shield"...this should never have been a concept as mitigation will always be preferred. What needs to happen is the cull of mitigation skills on dps and tanks to be added back to healers, and having healers instead focus on something that each can specialize in individually as to not be replaceable or comparable to another.
By "regen healer", I mean the healers that have spammable regens on the GCD. Thinking about it more, the only way I can see them becoming relevant is if fights just had a constant percentage of HP removal every second, since HP removal bypasses shields and if the removal is non-stop and large enough, SGE and SCH may not be able to keep up with just Dawn+Physis. But the downside is that if the HP removal is too much, it would just become a massive chore to deal with.
