The damage increase for DPS (and possibly WAR?) is too high for heals to catch up.

Going to chalk it up to random crits. Most people don't realize the explosive gameplay during DPS-buff time is intended and healers aren't meant to keep everyone alive forever HPS-wise. Also a lot of DPS not understanding the match-up against other DPS (like MCH+DRG should be outbursting MNK+BLM so you don't fight them head-on). If any DPS gets lucky, especially the already bursty ones (and WAR as a result, too), you'll eat streak crits and there's nothing you can do about it.

That said, I find the difference between non-crit and high-crit a bit too ludicrous and abilities like Between The Eyes really shouldn't crit for how much damage they already do and how easy they are to pull off (just like how Barrage>Empyreal doesn't crit).
