I felt like I really was helping the WHM and party out, but now I just feel like a gimp DPS. If I wanted to DPS I would've leveled a DPS class. Some may say that providing more DPS is helping the party out, but it just feels lame to me. Maybe I never did understand SCH and it's best to work on another job.
To be honest, I agree.

Everyone mentions in DPS vs non-DPS arguments how it's acceptable that DPS is big in raiding but shouldn't be the expectation in dungeons. However, I feel the opposite. I'd rather a raid test my abilities as a healer - have healing mechanics, have high damage and make me worry about my MP etc. In a dungeon where mechanics are mostly absent, I can throw out DPS. In a raid, I'd rather focus healing.
