Would you like an in-game parser?

I was referring to those who think that healer DPS (in the case of the post, specifically SCH) is bad. In current dungeons, tanks do not take much damage, and healing 90% of the time can be handled with selene, lustrate, and a few adlos every now and then, which gives healers a lot of breathing room to DPS, and if they aren't then they are either being lazy, or severely overhealing (or both), and the posts seem to suggest that doing so is how it should be, hence the ignorance comment.

First, thanks for the clarification. I didn't really see any of their comments saying healers DPSing being bad. I saw it as them arguing that Healer DPS shouldn't be their first priority; that a healer in dungeons shouldn't have to have accuracy gear and materia. Personally, I would like to even argue with you slightly in that: A healer that makes sure no one dies is an "OK" healer- they're doing the bare minimum their job requires. A healer that makes sure no one dies and contributes with DPS when available or comfortable is a "good" healer- they're doing what their role requires and then some. Your "good" healer scenario with a healer that plays at 100% all the time would then be an "excellent" healer- they're playing their class to the fullest.

Now, disclaimer incoming, I am certainly not going to claim that I am an excellent healer by your standards. But for the sake of argument, let's pretend that in raiding situations, I am and that I find that stressful. Is it going to harm anyone if I relax a bit and go down to "good" status for content that doesn't require me to play at peak performance? Am I a bad healer for not using Presence of Mind to spam holy, for example? Or for not using Fluid Aura because I know it's going to kick the mob not only out of range of holy, but my black mage's flares/fire2 and my summoner's Shadow Flare?
