Again, the "strike promoters" have a more credible argument about higher end content (ex: very fair concern if healer is deemed not necessary for HM or extremes), but this discussion should be separated from MSQ and the practical reality MSQ really does have to appeal to the lowest common denominator (and high end raiders are not exposed to this reality because they don't deal with pug queues ever, and are basically out of touch with regular players at this point).
That doesn’t fix the problems that healer just isn’t fun in casual content

I have plenty of fun in casual content in PCT, why should healer be boring in casual content and no other role just to “appeal to the lowest common denominator”
