I'll be SUPER happy when SE balances their game so that classes focus more on their own roles rather than how much DPS they can pull while doing their roles (I don't want to DPS either, OP).

But until that crazy healing day comes, DPS'ing as a healer is the optimal way to play, so that's what I'm gonna do.

Tempted to go back to WoW because of it, though (Disc/Mistweaver did the dps/heal thing better than SE. Even Resto Shaman's lightning bolt MP restore is less annoying). I like trinity games. Having to DPS so much while healing makes it feel... idk... more like a non-trinity game.
