So you asking them to do sports would be you asking them to do a thing outside of their role. At the end of the day, DPSing IS outside of the healer role itself. We have an entire role devoted to that.

Now, if we had roles of Tank, Healer, and Support, where there was no dedicated DPS role, then sure. But we aren't in that game. We have three roles, one of which is DPS. And healer is not that role.
And tank is also not that role. Tanks don't need anything more than what healers have for DPS, yet they do. There is a disconnect between the way the two non-DPS roles are treated, which means one of them is failing to respect the rules of their role. Either healers are failing to meet a sufficient amount of DPS variety that is acceptable for non DPS roles as established by tanks, or tanks are grossly overstepping their acceptable amount of DPS variety.

If the rule is that a Non DPS role should have a basic single target attack, AoE attack, and 1-2 additional tools for allowing them to function in solo content, but anything else is not permitted for crossing over into DPS role responsibilities, then tanks have failed and should have their DPS actions culled.
