While I generally agree with your points and am not disputing your argument, I want to poke at this particular statement because it keeps coming up on both sides of the issue.

Just a reminder that, unless I've missed something, basically nothing has been said officially about healer DPS except that raid content DPS minimum clears are not calculated with healer DPS numbers included and that the question of healer DPS is up to the players.

Yoshi and team have been pretty careful not to further inflame the healer controversy, probably in no small part because they don't want to turn off potential new healers or new-to-FFXIV players who assume that the responsibility is too great to make the role enjoyable. Once they begin playing and realize that "healer DPS" boils down to a stance toggle, a handful of abilities with no strict rotations, and the basic ability to read and anticipate mechanics, they're good to go.
