Imo dpsing as healer is better than not dpsing... but! You need to reach certain level of skill and confidence.

It is also important to think about this in context. When mobs die fast it is easier to heal and dps. This isn't always the case tho. Right now many dps players do job so poor it is hard to believe it. When mobs and bosses die at snail pace it is bloody hard to keep your MP up or to heal through increasing dmg. This creates the situation where healers think that they are barely able to heal and it also makes dpsing out of question... which is a little paradox, because if you dps, things die faster and your role gets easier. Yet again you need to reach certain level of skill and confidence.

I thought that this sentence is used mainly by dps Netflixers ^^

Here is the problem. Healers and tanks are right now more accountable than dps players. So until we fix this (vote for parsers!) then you can't really talk about double standards here. Maybe if healers saw how much dps they can do, and that they sometimes can outdps even dps classes, there would be more of them willing to dps.
