It's your own ineptitude if your letting your DPS die on purpose as a healer because you can't be bothered. You barely have to use your tools in most forms of content so it's not like you'll need to GCD save a DPS most of the time, and using a GCD to save someone is a damage gain, I'll even use clemency to save a DPS if I have to.

I don't get the ego about not healing players for making mistakes but also playing the support role, you signed up to protect and support your allies when queuing for healer or tank, Play DPS if you don't want to help keep people up for making mistakes. It feels like the same weird mentality of "you pull you tank" like HOW dare someone pull ahead I'm the tank, for that I'll not tank anymore. I just don't get why people need some weird ego about being better then everyone else and griefing your team because you don't like they made a mistake or did something you don't like. Most people wont learn from being downed infact if you refuse to rez them they will not be learning much at all.

Lastly but as I'll point out as your not against rescue that I do think its a good cooldown to help people know "yeah you should be not standing there" rather then simply healing a player. Rescue is a very good teaching tool which to your point of they've got to learn, this actually achieves in a effective way.
