Relative to DPSing, it slows down the run. Relative to not DPSing, DPS speeds up the run. It has nothing to do with pessimism and optimism, it has to do with relative to the topic. We were discussing comparative values to DPSing in a run. In this sense, not DPSing slows down the run.

A healer that sucks wasn't really part of the discussion.
