Having to explain this fine distinction over and over again is exhausting.

Yoshida specifically addressed healer DPS in raid scenarios, describing how it was not used for calculating what the dev team deemed to be the minimum clear requirement for a given ilvl.

None of that means that healers were not created with DPS in mind. The selection of DPS skills they receive up to and past level 50 highly suggests otherwise.
