Healer: ~3k
DPS: ~6k
DPS~6k

19k group dps is more than 16k
What is better, doing 19k DPS to 1 trash pack at a time, or doing 16k to 5 trash packs at a time?

80k group DPS is more than 19k.

I'm not saying that there isn't content where level scaling means that you can keep the tank alive with just a regen/adlo/aspected benefic every 10 seconds even against mass pulls, but there's far more content where tanks will need considerable healing even if level sync'd and popping CD's when mass pulling.

To which actually healing so the party doesn't wipe and so the tank can mass pull for the actual DPS to actually DPS many things is often far more efficient than spamming your ST nukes and healing "On the fly"

By all means, spam DPS against the bosses. They generally don't really do much threatening damage nor can they be exploited such as mass pulling.

But all of my fast runs have been from competent healers that know when to stop attempting to push out their mediocre DPS and focus on allowing the Tank to go ham on the big pulls.
