so... keeping everyone alive is being lazy and the healing type of healer isn't even part of the team? and a healer who uses all his healing skills and healing cds and shields is compareable to any DPS who doesn't use his DPS-buffs or a tank who doesn't use his defense-buffs?
A player who chooses not to use skills that could help themselves and their party is not playing well; often they are deliberately choosing to put in less effort. That is the point that you are supposed to take away from braneri1's comparison.

Also remember that keeping everyone alive is a bare minimum expectation in most content. Just because everyone is kept alive doesn't mean that the healer gets to hang up the rest of their kit and mentally AFK. If DPS did this, it would be both hilarious and awful: "...well, I threw out a couple of abilities, and clearly none of us are dying, so I can rest my fingers and let auto-attacks finish the job."
