I get that there are healers out there who have everything under control - but I've seen far more healers who dont and part of the reason I play paladin is that I'm not at their mercy. I'm willing to trust them and only clemency under extreme circumstances, but I'd like to keep doing that - its part of what makes my job fun and engaging to me.
The solution for your problem shouldnt be to take something away from those jobs, but rather to communicate to your party that they can trust your healing and that you have everything under control. A good paladin or RDM wont want to use their healing spells unless in dire need - and with a good healer they wont have to. There are enough moments though that this good healer isnt around - dead, afk, left the party or you outright got someone who lets you die to the last boss of the new dungeon after you trusted that they knew what they were doing...
Another solution for this problem would be to make healers more engaging again - not to take away from other jobs.
I've tried several times to tell players to not use Clemency but they always took offense and started getting defense or didn't respond and continued to use it. My wording was along the lines of "please don't use Clemency" or "you don't need to use Clemency". It's a little confrontational to tell someone to stop using an ability when they didn't ask for advice, so no entirely unreasonable that they react that way I guess. How would you go about asking someone to stop using it? Genuinely asking, cause I could probably use different wording.
