At the end of the day, success or failure of the "strike" is determined by whether it leads to SE making any meaningful changes to healers and healing. Those who haven't been healers previously that slide into that role now are directly detrimental to the strike.
You're grossly missing the point of the strike. The point of the strike is very simple: We don't want to play the healers as they currently are anymore.

Whether the strike impacts metrics and the dev team decides to make changes or other people play the job we dislike for us and we get a smooth switch over to tank/DPS with quicker queues from these new healers, we win either way.

There is no losing here. You may not be supporting the strike by queueing as a healer, but you are making it more comfy for an ex-healer to main a different role by taking their place as the cog in the wheel.

So I hope you continue having fun as a healer so I can continue to have fast DPS queues, thank you for your service.
