Much as you don't seem to like DPS, doing DPS is your answer. Developing proper play of your job means taking all of your abilities into consideration and learning how to use them. Practice stance dancing, when to heal, and when to chip in some damage.
I agree with this.

Ignore titles. Ignore "roles." Focus on tools and what's needed for the job. If it turned out BLM tanking something is the ideal strategy, I would do it. If it turned out having 8 WHMs was somehow the most DPS party, I would form this party. Ignore the notion that healers heal, tanks tank, DPS DPS; whatever kills the enemies quicker while still consistent and safe, I'll take that route, and unless you have some role playing agenda, I recommend you play to your tools rather than your role.
