Seriously... First worry about dps players whose job is to do dps and yet quite often they do less damage than tanks and healers. Then we can worry about healers who refuse to dps. I know it is easy to think that the healer is responsible for slow dungeons , but as it is right now your average healer is still putting in more effort than your average dps player, so the blame is totally missing the correct target.

If everybody tried to contribute as much as possible that would be blissful.
This discussion is never about blaming the DPS. Many players of all roles are terrible; this is known.

What it's about is people trying to gain special snowflake exemption for healers to put forth less than their full effort just because they actually got grouped with people who play intelligently and need little babysitting.

Players like the OP who are new to the game are not reasonably expected to do anything other than learn the game in general, but it would definitely be unfortunate if even more players read some of the responses around here and walked away with the idea that, while they should expect DPS and tanks to pull their full weight, healers are doing just fine and need not put forth any additional effort as long as they aren't allowing anyone to die...except possibly on the inside, each time the next compulsive overheal sparkles around their nearly-full HP character....
