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

For the record there are times where eating damage as a DPS from a mechanic is worth it. A monk losing grease lightning is worse than a whm missing a stone III.

So if a monk has to put himself in damage to keep it. It's worth it to heal through. But this case doesn't happen very often.

You're absolutely correct. I'll make the same choice to refresh Enochian on BLM if necessary, though the Ward/Wall CDs and AM help reduce the need to eat avoidable damage. No decent healer will fault a DPS for eating occasional non-lethal damage to maintain their best rotation.

I look at the same way with DPS having Blood for Blood being up, or a BLM using Convert (sac 20% HP for 30% MP), all of which pushes their DPS and sometimes mechanical damage just happened to line-up with it. I don't think I once asked for anyone to click off BfB in a raid I would usually notice it and compensate as-needed.
