I know the title could be kind of confusing, allow me to try to explain without getting too wordy. (Totes gonna fail)

I have mained a healer throughout my FFXIV career, generally WHM but I've spent a fair amount if time on AST lately and I mained SCH in HW. I feel like other than the WHM/Diurnal AST overlap these are all fairly different playstyles overall.

I still have an incredibly hard time switching to a non-healer!

My first real attempt at this (and the only class I've played above 60 that isn't a healer) is BRD. I recieved some amazing BRD advice from HyoMinPark when I started playing it and did a fair amount of research on my own... it did not translate into skill. I know a portion of this is something that comes with time and reflex memory but I feel like I was never so ineffective on a healer as I am on BRD.

I feel a similar sense of dread while tanking (my PLD is only 30 or so) though it is less overwhelming since I can (for the most part) hold aggro which I see as the most important part of tanking. On BRD I feel responsible for living up to BRD DPS and I just can't manage it.

I just feel like I have more time to think on a healer. My GCDs are essentially the same length (I use a fair bit of SpS on my WHM so it could be faster) but when I'm playing something TP based I always feel very rushed.

I don't know. I am at my wits end. Does anyone else coming from a healer/caster role feel this change like I do? Do people moving in the oposite direction observe the opposite? What could I do to combat this?

At this point I'm wondering if I just have to roll BLM to DPS efectively, or SMN. I would like to break out of this if I can, any help beyond "just keep doing it till it works" would be much appreciated. I know everything will take some practice.
