The healer gets used to not having to heal, after 20-40% hp raidwides the last 90 levels the game can't just say "lmao here's 300% of your hp in damage" and expect us to cope.

Dedicated "heal people now" mechanics being the only time we heal is awful design actually and sets healers up for failure

I still remember P10 normal in Duty Finder week 1:

Oh, here's a cast bar. And there's the damage. That wasn't so bad. Oh, huh, another head slam. Akh Morn? *heal* … Wait, why is this still going? *splat*

Most groups got the message and cleared the mechanic on the next pull. A few wiped a second time before truly understanding what was required.

So, yeah, Harrowing Hell being an outlier in terms of incoming damage profiles made it more of a "gotcha" than anything.
