Black Mage is purely damage dealing it can't do anything else! We can't support the group in any other way other than our damage output, so why should white mage be able to do both healing and DDing? And Red Mage, which we all know it coming, has always been a mixture of both Blm/Whm so it can do both and enfeeble.
Whatever you say. WHM has damage spells, and they work, so I'll continue to use them. Of course it's not main DD, but WHM dmg spells have their place. The whm af fight is an excellent example of when a whm should be using dmg spells. We did that fight last night with 5 people, 2 whm (one healing and one on DD) 2 BLMs and a MNK. The fight went very smoothly.
