Just give me one expansion where healers get to have lots of DPS tools and tanks get “I play tank because I want to tank!” Anti-DPS players constantly getting in the way of tank players who want their DPS returned and making them cry until 4:30 am in front of the bathroom mirror eating chocolate chips out of the bag because there’s nothing else sweet to eat in the house.
I think there's room for both, in that if there are a few healer classes that spend more of their time doing DPS, I think that's fine. So if you personally want to be a healer that spends more time DPSing, I would like there to be one or more classes where you can get that experience. But what I want as a healer is to focus 80-95% of my time on healing, so I hope there's a class where I can get that experience as well. Because healer is the only class that provides the experience of triage gameplay, so when that's what I'm after, I don't want to get "not enough" of it.
