I do not dps as a healer. It is a choice I make.
Anyone claiming healers shouldn't DPS has obviously never seen a good healer dish out the pain. If I'm running an ex roulette on my BLM the one job that routinely makes me feel impotent on large pulls is a better geared WHM, Holy is OP as hell. If I'm tanking then nothing makes me grin wider then, you guessed it, a WHM who lets rip with Holy right off the bat. Not only that but from what I can tell WHM isn't even the hardest hitting healer, that honour goes to SCH but as the damage is more subtle it's less noticable. Healer damage is huge, not quite up to par with a good DPS class but not that far off and having a good healer is like having an extra DPS so just standing around with your thumb up your ass isn't really pulling your weight. Just look at the potencies if you're still in doubt

Fire II potency is 100
Flare potency is 260 but it uses all MP so can't be spammed.
Holy potency is 200, it also stuns all the mobs and can be spammed.

I know that's not taking into account astral fire buff but c'mon, how can anybody justify doing nothing when they can easily contribute so much?
