I've got bad news for you buddy: The only thing stopping me from playing all classes on my one character isn't my stat distribution. I've played the entirety of endgame SCH with only 10 points in MND. Not once have I heard somebody ask what my stat distribution is, or even complain that I just couldn't heal enough. No, the biggest hinderance for end-game multi-classing is gear availability and advancement. If you want to complain about "having to choose," direct it towards gear lock-outs.

Well, SMN could get Cleric Stance, but you'd have to give up either [Thunder, Swiftcast, and Surecast] or [Raging Strikes and Quelling Strikes] for [Aero, Cleric Stance, Protect, and Stoneskin].
Besides, Cleric Stance would be completely useless after ilvl 60 gear unless Demagogue/Casting gear got MND values equaling 80% of their INT values or SMN could wear Strategos/Healing gear.
So no, it's not stupid. It's designed so that Healers can DPS when they're not healing.
