Are healers lazy or do some really live by "I only heal"?

I find 11 seconds free-time still low and risky. You have to time everything extremely well, because, with the 5 minutes cooldown, once Benediction is gone it's gone for good and Tetra isn't Lustrate that you can chain 3 times.

Usually I only DPS on bosses when at DF for two reasons: one, I have memorized the patterns and I know what to expect at each phase and two, the damage is much more steady and it's way easier to DPS between damage phases.

And before someone complains, NO, I'm not even trying to memorize trash mob skills or behavior so I know what to expect, I have more important things to think about than trash game mobs.

Are you talking about dungeons or raids? I definitely get it in a raid. I like to know the full 'rotation' of the fight before I start to add in my DPS.

For dungeons, 11 seconds is more than enough time to dps. I constantly DPS with my sch in that 5 second window we spoke of earlier, in the manner that I said.

Anyway, it's fair if you don't want to DPS. You chose to play a healer, so that's your prerogative.
