I will agree that SOME of the healing, shielding, and mit should be taken from the other roles and placed back on the healers, but speaking in hyperboles and over-exaggerations kills any sensible conversation.
    The sustain of the other roles massively devalues the healer

    Put it this way, with the sustain the tanks and DPS have instead of needing to heal every 30 seconds I only need to heal every 90 seconds, so every piece of sustain that’s given to the other roles is one less piece of healing I actually need to do and more broil I’m stuck pressing

    I should also inform you zero healer clears of all casual content is relatively easy in a decent group and no healer clears of savage isn’t uncommon

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    They should honestly just take all the healing tanks have and instead focus on making the actual mitigation tools stronger, maybe not stuff like Reprisal or Shake it Off, but stuff like Rampart, TBN, Bloodwhetting, etc.

    If you've got 40% damage mitigation then you're still dying, just a decent bit slower compared to only 15% or 20% mitigation. It still makes the job easier for healers while also not making them irrelevant by having the healer basically go AFK on heals while the warrior has their bloodwhetting on.
