Ironically, such a thing existed for healers in old WOW, the one that uses the model of healing some people want to move towards, with the triage and the 'MP is a real concern' and all that. Loatheb only let you heal once, and then you got a 55ish second debuff that prevented you from healing again, so you had to really ration out what you were going to use your one heal for.

I wonder what the healers did during those 55 seconds where they couldn't cast any heals... Surely it wasn't doing damage, that'd be 'against what the healer role is about' right /s
