Yeah you might even be making educated guesses but in the end thats exactly what it is educated guessing there's no statistical data to back it up until the content and changes go live.
Squeen didn't need to remove any DPS tools to ensure healers are doing more healing. The content will dictate how much time is spent on healing, and that time requirement will decrease as people gear up over the course of playing/replaying that content. If the encounters require constant healing focus, there simply would not be much/any time left to spend on DPS and utility tools.

By taking away the DPS and utility options, devs are guaranteeing less engaging play beyond the time needed for healing. And that will become more and more noticeable as we progress through the expansion, learning mechanics for each fight and acquiring better gear.
