A healer shouldn't need to dps in fights unless that mechanic allows them eg Ravana ex during Lib cast when hes red..if a healer has to dps, then the dps are not doing their job properly...

It's the whole party/raid job to output the most party/raid wide dps as possible. While it's not needed especially for healers to dps in dungeons and other easy content, they are absolutely able dish out loads of damage particularly in trash pulls meaning things die faster and less healing is needed if done properly. I don't think anyone said for a healer to prioritize dpsing over healing. But healers are able to do both effectively with no problems. Again, if tp/mp is not needed than it's not needed clear as that.
