I think you're underestimating how short the range on the aoe skills is, all of the aoe skills have a 5y radius compared to a melee dps' 3y radius. That's not much of a difference.

I don't see how being say 10y away from the boss, behind your healers but still in their aoe heal range is a bad thing. If I wanted to stay in melee range all the time I'd go with I dunno, DRG?
