I have always kept my party members up at 90% health or higher, used my DPS spells on adds and boss, and never struggled with my mana. I rarely have to revive anyone unless, like in that scenario, they ignored a boss mechanic.

I think I am a pretty good healer, as it is such a simple class and you can do no wrong if you've played MMOs for a long time. But hearing him blame me made me feel so defeated
Please ignore the horrible "advice" that player gave you. As long as you are keeping your party alive and doing mechanics properly, there's no reason not to dps. Continue to play as you are because it sounds like you're doing a good job. Don't let somebody who has no idea what they are doing keep you from playing a role you enjoy.
