How would you solve the boring "damage rotation" of the healers?

[Katish]

As long as there is down time, there is damage to be done (unless you're just sitting there) and to a good healer (or even just a normal healer) that is basically the entire fight. It doesn't even matter if ogcds are removed, healers relying on GCDing will still have said downtime. Look at blue mage, it can keep up with dps and gcd healing just fine and healing still makes up only a small amount of button pressing. Yes, the healing needs fixing but more importantly the dps and support buttons need to be addressed as that is what you're doing in most of your downtime...it was what healers have always been doing in this game, a little less in the past, but still significant. In fact, healers had a lot more to keep up with than today whether it was healing or damage, showing there's room for a rework across the entire role on every level.
