What I really wonder is why ppl get so upset when you even broach the subject of a healer dpsing. I can understand if you are healing or need to be at the ready but when there is no heals needed and nothing to do I don't get why asking a healer to throw an aero, rune, bio or holy is SUCH a HUGE deal. If it speeds things up, great. But man oh man ppl just get so defensive when you ask them why they haven't even drawn their weapon or cast a spell for the past 3 pulls or why they refuse to. Are you really that indolent that you gotta start a fight about it?

To me its just being a team player and helping the group out. Maybe my gaming style is just too altruistic. But hopefully the new healers that are reading this will realize that its a win/win situation that will benefit everyone, including themselves, if they learn good habits early on.

I knew I was going to get slammed by a select few for #3 but I stand by it.
