When it comes to some jobs having too much healing/mitigation, I think I agree overall.

I think that say, dancer is fine with its little heal and shield. But then yo u have say, warrior and paladin. My paladin can solo a lot of dungeon bosses without a healer and even potentially keep dps alive through use of clemency and other tools if the healer dies and the dps aren't flubbing too many mechanics. It's a tricky line to balance. Because on the one hand, it's cool that palaidn has a LIMITED aiblity to heal. But while it can be cool to say, keep the party alive as a paladin for the last chunk of a boss fight if the healer(s) go down, it feels like it's gone a bit too far for some jobs. A healer going down in a dungeon should be more impactful than 'oh I guess I just need to slow my dps a bit so I can throw out some clemencies on the dps' etc.

And I 100% agree healers need more dps buttons. They don't need a full, complex dps rotation the way a DPS job does. But they need more than 'dot, nuke, aoe, and maybe a couple other buttons on short cooldowns.'

For spending very little time healing though, I have an honest question for healer mains. Coming from someone who heals only in casual content. Dungeons, alliance raids, normal mode trails/raids etc. Are you really spending THAT little time actively healing in high end content? In the casual content I do, the healing is usually pretty relaxed...until people start making mistakes. Which happens a lot in casual duty finder content. People flub mechanics and need raises, and then healing once they're up so they don't die to the next aoe. People take non required damage all the time. Tanks doing wall to wall dungeon pulls don't always use their cooldowns optimally, or the aoe dps is lagging behind and said cooldowns are running out before the mobs are dead, or someone stood in the wrong place a couple times and has vuln stacks etc. In my pesronal experience, the idea of 'you barely ever have to touch a gcd heal' is not a universal truth but a sign of a clean run. And when doing raids/trials with randoms there's rarely any coordination on who's doing what or when except for the occasional raise macro. When people say this, are they talking about all content? Or when they're doing content with their statics? Is it only during farm or also during prog? Is it all the time that you run into this or is it just high end content with a static etc?

To be clear I"m not questioning healer mains on this. This is just someone on the outside who heals casually in casual content asking an honest question, I'm not saying healers are wrong or that I know better, because I really dong as again I only casually heal in casual content.
