I think what this community is advocating is to work WITH your co-healers—not invalidate their efforts and turn their HoTs into overheals 90% of the time. They aren’t advocating to never heal, so if you honestly think that, you clearly aren’t reading the responses given to you.

Because that's what my experience in this game has been for the past freaking month. Healers that only want to dps and not help out with any of the healing. Which means I have to do all the healing, or the group wipes. It's alright if we wipe continually? Right guys? Just want to get this on record. The healing community supports wiping groups, because everybody wants to prioritize dpsing over healing. I'm not saying you can't dps. I'm just saying you need to throw up some heals too... Literally ANY heals would be a help...
You’re either exaggerating in the amount of bad co-healers you get, or in the amount of work you have to put out. In all trials and raids, damage is 100% scripted. Meaning, if you know a fight well enough, you can time your heals to only heal when necessary, which is what healing is about in this game.

If you are causing your co-healer to massively overheal, that may be why they aren’t healing at all. Why waste the MP if their efforts are going to be invalidated? Especially if they’re an AST, since we have enough MP issues as it is. I like to get my MP’s worth out of my heals when I use them—not have them be complete overheals because my co-healer is way too concerned with making sure everyone is topped off all the time and has 100% Medica II uptime. Unfortunately, WHM/AST does not synergize well in terms of healing, as Assize and Earthly Star are always going to be tripping over each other if used on CD.

All I'm asking for is a little help. Ya know? Throw up a regen every now and then. I don't think this is too much to ask for. This community makes me want to quit healing. Although, I have been considering not healing dead weight healers. So I might actually start doing this. Considering how this community is acting... I hope SHB is a wake up call. At least white mages will be forced to throw up three heals before they can use their big dps nuke. That's three more heals than I'm getting now. So I guess that's a step in the right direction...
It’s unlikely that the amount of outgoing damage is going to increase significantly in ShB. Considering this community asks for MSQ solo instances to be nerfed, I doubt anything outside of Savage and Ultimate raids will be as demanding as you are saying it should be.

I’m also not a fan of having to spam heals simply for the sake of spamming heals. I like managing both healing and damage.
