Is that grounds for treating healers like second rate citizens?
It's almost like the story/leveling content is so dumbed down roles are more of a convenience then anything, eh?

Personally speaking I've seen tanks kill bosses from start to finish (Zenos, I was in the dungeon - and due to poor communication from both me and the tank, I ended up getting cleaved in the throat. Tank decided to try and just see if they could continue and kill him, and it worked.)

If they are comfortable without one, don't bring one. If the healer in the group isn't DPSing during the time they aren't healing, kick them. Being honest a healer isn't worth their weight in salt if they can't DPS in the current leveling content with how easy it truly is ATM.
