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

[Boblawblah]

I'm curious, if you could make a single relatively small change (no, "revert all changes to 'x'" isn't a small change imo) to improve healers, what would it be?

For me, I only have level 60 healers, but already I can see how much I'm just pressing the same dps button over and over again with a single dot thrown out now and then. I don't know how much that changes, but it'd be nice to have another ability that I could press regularly (not on a 60 second CD) that did damage. That would be my one change.

Note, I know nothing about healers, but as I'm levelling all my other jobs, I'm slowly learning.

The part you questioned? The answer is, it doesn't. That is your downtime, get ready to replace your "1" key.

Before someone steps in with "oh actually", yes, AST (for example) gets earthly star (on 60 seconds) macrocosmos (3 min) and cards (usually held for to sync with other buffs) - but that's about it.
