The discourse moved past that question months and years ago, as best as I've seen.

I can't recall the last time I saw someone propose that healers have a strict rotational loop for their DPS actions. That only works if you strip out GCD heals and rely entirely on oGCDs, similarly to how tanks work with respect to mitigations.

The more common stance is in fact the opposite: dial down the power of oGCDs heals, make GCDs heals interesting again, and increase DPS complexity while preserving the flexibility needed to use GCD heals as needed. (There's also usually a related desire to make fights hit harder.) To the extent that anyone talks about a "rotation" in reference to whatever a healer does when they're not healing, it's a sort of imprecision carried over from the other roles. To the extent that anyone compares healer DPS actions to tank DPS actions, it's to make a point about overall complexity, not the tank's strict rotational DPS loop.
