I don't know what could ever have given you that impression; it thrills me to watch different players make the same mistakes repeatedly over the course of days.

In slightly more seriousness, it just seems worse because so many players are playing RDM since it's a new Job.

A good healer will already be spending a GCD, MP, or an ability to patch up that player, so now two players are fixing one boo-boo. If you are the RDM and you have a standing agreement with your healer that you will take care of yourself for incidental mechanics, that's another matter, but if I were the healer I would still prefer that you continue attacking. Second Wind is different because it's oGCD; even if the Vercure happens to coincide with a Dualcast proc, it still trips the GCD, so ideally it shouldn't be used at all unless truly necessary.
