Remember When Tanks Asked Before Large Pulls?

[Taika]

I'm just kind of sad from all what I read on the forum about the current healing meta because it seems it has taken a more important turn toward DPSing. While I remember before I quitted than when doing big pulls, or with some bosses (who, I clearly noticed, have been nerfed since) the tank always flirted with death and there was no time at all for dps to the exception of special encounters where some well placed Holy could do wonder.

You're creating your own memories. DPS has always been a part of healer meta in this game: healers did DPS from Sastasha through the whole Coil. Holy burn was an essential part of speed running Wanderer's Palace. Even in 1.0 healers were doing DPS in dungeons and boss fights (WHM Moogle burn was a thing, for example).
