I play on PS4, where crossbar real estate is worth its weight in blood. So I have Cleric Stance macros, they use CS and change to whatever crossbar I'm not on atm, healing crossbar or dps crossbar. I find it more convenient than not, but your mileage may vary.

On the other hand, you will also be using healing and buff abilities (Asylum, Assize, Benediction, Eye for an Eye, maybe Stoneskin or Protect etc.) in Cleric Stance, so this may not be convenient.

And yes, you should do as much DPS as possible while keeping your party safe.

I recommend you starting just healing, once that you get the times of your own heals, start with some DPS turning on the clearing stance manually according with the situation.
As you can see every healer has his own way, but I think that definetly the DPS on a healer is important.
