Stop queuing for PotD if you don't intend to DPS at all.

I've had two Bards refuse to use Foe Requiem for me because they thought my damage scaled off Piety. Really.

As a BRD: F that! I don't want to be mobbed by every damn monster on the floor cause you're addicted to your parser.

We've been over all of that again. And again. And again. At what point healing became exclusive of adding DPS I have no idea.

In my experience, that's very much the expectation. The other day I entered a12N with my barely eligible WHM and admitted that I had never experienced the content as a WHM, so I didn't know precisely the safe zones for adding dps as the main healer. The AST promptly said they weren't ever gonna exit CS and I was to sink or swim. Partway through the fight several of the dps and the AST started complaining that I wasn't dpsing even though the party was draining my MP much too fast for me to support an aggressive play style, since I had to use my MP tools on CD and I was still sitting at barely a quarter, due to all the damage the party was taking.
