Kind of a double standard there guys, don't you think? If I don't DPS as a healer I'm lazy, but if I help heal when I'm not a healer, that's bad. I don't really get that, but okay, I guess I'll just find my own little niche, whatever and wherever that is. Thanks for all the input guys, but I really think I should find somewhere else to play. Enjoy your gaming guys, I had a kinda fun month here. :-)
Good luck with whatever you do.

To address your point briefly, the double standard has justification: unnecessary healing is useless at best, detrimental at worst. However, there is rarely such a thing as unnecessary damage.

Further, GCDs spent on DPS casting their extremely weak heals = GCDs not spent doing damage. Healers DPS far, far better than any DPS can heal.
