Brainstorming DPS rotation changes for healers

[hydralus]

Why do tanks get a more complex DPS rotation

They are supports as well, all they need is riot blade spam and 30 ramparts to do their job

So why isn't playing a tank an option if it's filling the support role while having a more complex rotation? Seems like the issue is already solved. I mean we all know they're not going to be giving healers any more complexity (unless we think that they'd suddenly change their minds after 8 years of nuke and DoT mentality) so why not be realistic and just be a little happy? The thing you want is already in the game, just play it.

Issue isn't solved because acting as the party shield isn't always the role I want to take. I enjoy tanking, but sometimes I want to play that supportive role of keeping people alive from the back as a magic job, but instead I end up pressing Glare 150 times and scarcely have to heal unless I have a team that can't stay out of the orange circles.

I had fun when SCH had 4 DoTs and a spread ability for those DoTs. I don't have fun on SCH when I have only Broil to press for the next 30s. In what way is me playing PLD fixing the issue I have with SCH? I have more fun on PLD than SCH now, but it doesn't bring the playstyle I liked from SCH back.
