But...I...I don't wanna DPS, I'm a healer...

It is not much about phrasing as much about the point of view. I don't believe it is possible to discuss dpsing vs not dpsing as healer in vacuum. There are many additional factors that need to be considered.

So what you are saying is that healers should be accountable for doing dps and using dps abilities? That non-dpsing healer is playing the job poorly?

What about using and not using cleric stance. There is a huge difference in dps with it and without it. Yet it is just one skill. One that makes dpsing worth it or almost waste of time. One that kills your party members or not.

What do you think about dpsing healer who uses all the skills in cleric stance, but lets dps members die in avoidable aoes? Or about dpsing healer who is dpsing almost full-time but kills the tank and dps players?

Edit:

One more question. Do you expect the healer to cover for mistakes of other party members? Because if you expect them to be accountable for dpsing, then healing avoidable damage is no longer part of the job imo.
