DPS almost always need to know raids better than a healer. That's not a bad design flaw. It's simply standard, because a DPS is all about maximizing their dps without pulling aggro (though that's easier in XIV than a lot of other MMOs) and without getting killed by aoes that can be avoided.

While there's some mechanics that it's more important for a healer to know, healing is in general a lot simpler to do effectively, and has less requirement to do perfectly.
