Starting healing with AST... Did I bite off too much?

[GeekMatt]

I'd just like to say as a healer, seeing ACN/THM/BLM/SMN use physic or pld use Clemency when I have things under control is mildly insulting and mildly annoying. I'm not someone that needs to go fast, if DPS/tanks aren't too great at their jobs yet or are struggling with mechanics, or if someone needs a potty break then I don't mind waiting in the slightest. But when time is being wasted because you're trying to do something you shouldn't be, instead of doing what you should be, it's really frustrating to have my time wasted.

So if people have died and your healer has proven that they can't keep up, or if your healers dead then by all means physic/clemency away, but each role has its responsibilities and if the others are carrying their weight then please make the effort to carry yours. Also, low HP does not mean the healer isn't on top of things, DEATH means the healer's not on it.
