Every problem with the current iteration of healers.

[tikiwiki]

i'm sorry if it sounds rude but healers aren't dps class.we have in our kits damage but that shouldn't be as important as the healing toolkit.
a healer job is to recover/revive/buff the party that are available in his kit.
the healer classes are divided by my view like this:
white mage is healing/regen(old school healer), scholar has heal+shield(and should be a multi-task healer with his pet),astrologist can be either shield or regen oriented before fights +give certain buffs(healer+regen/shield based on demand+buffer).

when a healer doesn't need to heal,he contribute by dps but again i repeat dps is not a healer focus thats not what he needs to do.
the only things that can be argued about dps part of a healer are:
1.the dps skills work fluently with the kit of the class or not.
2.potency issues that may cause serious problems with solo content.

i think its completely wrong to judge a healer based on dps. those part of his kit are there to help him do solo content and during 0 heal moments he can contribute in dps instead or do something else instead.
a healer main job is primary to heal and support the party with his healing kit,damage is a bonus and the kit as a whole should be the decisive factor in choosing a healer in parties.

great that you feel our dps shouldnt be focused on but the reality is in xiv healers have always spent more time doing dps so we need these parts to be enjoyable or for healing downtime to dramatically decrease but that requires significant reworks
