"No one would want to play healers" is not only false, it's an insult to every career healer that learned to play well and became known for it before 4.0. It's either a weak handwave of an answer, or a complete misunderstanding of PvP and its playerbase. For all that I've done, for all I continue to do, I'm able to because I had dedicated, SKILLED healers backing me up.

Healers don't need a nerf, they need proper balancing. I strongly doubt anyone who does it willingly would hold issue with that. I'm sure however anyone holds issue with being told a blatant lie.
