Doing as much damage as you can is perfectly fine, as long as I'm not dying because you're DPSing instead of healing. Your PRIMARY job is to heal the group. If I die because I had no heals from you in 20 seconds, you failed as a healer. If I died because you suck at healing in cleric stance, you failed as a healer. THAT is why so many of us SAVE our cooldowns, because so many of you let us drop in HP and die, while you're still tunneling on trying to win the DPS meters. HEAL US, do damage in between, but healing is your #1 priority.
