Food for thought.
Problems with that, 1, healing doesn't kill the boss, and 2, heals from classes with low MIND are so ineffective that it's a complete waste of time. The same can not be said for healer's dpsing, as a healer doing 250 dps is going to be considerably more help than a healer who is just standing there doing nothing in downtime.
