Healer & Tank DPS (WoW vs FFXIV)

Sorry, but I disagree. At least healers must plan their GCD to meet healing checks, make sure that everyone is well and needs to do what everyone is doing. Even the enemy (to, for instance, know when to precast a heal because the boss is preparing a tank buster). And all of this while doing mechanics. And only if everything is fine he can DPS.

To do all those things, the healer must pay much atention on what he's doing or he can commit an error that can cause a wipe.

While it wasn't developed to specifically need DPS from healers. And that wouldn't be needed if the party's DPS sucks less. In general, a WHM (the greater damage from non-DPS jobs) does 2/3 of the damage made by an MCH (the lesser damage in DPS jobs).

If a WHM makes more damage than a job that is actually made to deliver damage, that DPS is making at least 1/3 less damage than he can and must work on it.
