I went and counted how many hotbar buttons tanks and healers currently have for damage vs non-damage (not the percentage of spent GCDs, just hotbar space).
Tanks have an average of about 18 damage buttons to 15 non-damaging buttons while healers have an average of 6 damage buttons to 24 non-damaging buttons. Even Astrologian with Draw, Play, Redraw, Divination, Lightspeed, Astrodyne and Minor Arcana doesn't come close to having as many damage buttons as Warrior, the easiest tank.
