If you are 2v2 and you have 2 dps/tank and the other has 1 dps/tank and 1 healer the group with the healer will win guaranteed... this applies to any group size ofc
This is, of course, unless they are making some severe balance changes which probably won't happen.
This. Healers will be essential. Healers will be as important for "point denial" in this as they were for securing flags in the old one. If two groups hauled at eachother, on with 6DPS 2 healer, the other with 8 DPS, I can promise you in almost every situation, the 6/2 split would win, and probably with next to no deaths.

Of course situations will vary, but healers are going to be just as important... just not in a "Stalemate the flag" kind of way.
