Personally, I don't care if people get annoyed by my just standing there. My job is to keep the group alive, and I'm extremely good at it. If you're going to pay $15/mo to play a game. You shouldn't let someone else dictate how you should enjoy it.
We have one requirement: Be better than a bot, that's all we're asking. A bot can stand around and do nothing and still keep the group alive. Heck, EOS/Selene can do that in every dungeon. Be better than a faerie. According to you though, they're EXTREMELY good at their job.
TBH I'd rather have my chocobo than a healer who stands around for most of the fight making sure no one goes below 95% HP. At least my chocobo will DPS in between heals. Be better than a chocobo.

People just want you to play how your class was designed. Do the Hall of the Novice again. It specifically states to DPS when people don't need healing.
