Dungeon groups want to pull wall to wall and expect you to heal through it. Even if you do heal through it they'll complain that you didn't do enough dps. I play a healer or tank to heal or tank. I don't want to be a fake dps when playing those roles.
Then you could have played as the old WHM. They had very simple dps options. And yes, maybe they needed a buff. I would have supported that. But variety is the spice of life. There’s no reason for all the healers to have no complexity to their dps.

As for people who give healers trouble... isn’t it kinda nuts to punish healers because other people are a**holes?
