Well what helped set Healers in this game apart from healers in other MMOs was that we had to balance DPS and Healing. Where other MMOs had healers just be heal bots that barely did any damage of their own and thus were dependent on having friends to help them.

And the HPS of bloodlust using melee DPS in AoE situations is not bad. I have had plenty of times where a healer wasted a GCD heal on me when I took an AoE hit from the mobs in the pack and lost 25% of my HP, only to instantly get that back on my next AoE attack because of bloodlust. Then the heal from the healer hits on my full HP bar... SAM really does have a good toolset for maintaining itself to reduce healer needs.
