And why wouldn't we as players want more?
I have to agree and disagree at the same time.

Yes, most people on the PTR would agree - which is directly related to the kind of demographic that visits a PTR (or even knows that one exists, and how to reach it).
No, people in the wild would disagree, when they have to relearn their favourite healer role from scratch (yes, there are people that like White Mage /shocked picachu face/ ).

Take me for example. I didn't even read that change list of yours, as it was much too long for my liking. I would not be happy when I had to figure out all this changes through my tooltips when a new patch drops.

Make it a new job, and I would definitely give it a closer look. Throw my favourite healer in the shredder, and I will be very unhappy.
