Is it okay to not DPS?

[416to305]

I don't think anyone looks poorly at a healer that doesn't DPS, I mean your main purpose is to heal so that has to come first. I always DPS just because you don't need to heal 100% of the time so gets boring otherwise, but I've done WoD or others where sometimes I'm just tired or out of it so I just get a bit lazy and only heal. I've never had anyone say to stop DPSing or to start. I find it's easier in a 4 person dungeon though to stick to healing for the most part, because if you mess up and you wipe or the tank wipes, everyone goes back to the start. At least in a raid or 8 person you have the other healer to cover you a bit. On the flip side though, there's no greater satisfaction in one of those dungeons when you can pop a Regen on the tank and pretty much take out the group of mobs yourself spamming Holy. Get comfortable with healing first and then you'll find DPSing comes easily when you are good at quickly hitting your skills, like Benediction if things go south.

Fixed that for you.
