RDM's vercure is 350 potency, but can be used twice, which actually makes it better than "Cure 1" when applied to the same target. That makes it almost as good as Cure 2.

Monk has both bloodbath and second wind, AND it also has Riddle of Earth.

Summoner is ... complicated. Basically you need to do this to access that HP recovery AOE:
Summon Carbuncle -> Summon Phoenix -> Everlasting Flight (pet action) / Rekindle
Monk also has Earth's Reply, an AOE heal. Plus, Second Wind has been buffed across the board for all melee.

If we went with the "strip tanks of all self-healing" every tank would be broken except Gunbreaker and Dark Knight, and both of them would still be partially broken since it's part of their basic combo. Any changes to tanks to remove most or all of the self-healing would have to come with changing the knobs on mitigation so people don't just prefer the most unkillable tank.
Paladin wouldn't be broken if it lost its heal, but Warrior would need something else if it lost it's heal.. but if they were only applicable to themselves (So no casting on others), and toned down.. that would give some use back to healers.
