A summary of healer issues

[baklava151]

You speak for high end players, theorycrafters, people ruled by parses/FFLogs, and those that follow what the above players tell them to think.

I've only ever played healer in normal content and I think healers are boring.

Having a "streamlined" DPS kit sucks when DPS spells become your primary thing you cast.
Seriously, I don't consider myself a high-end player by any means(I guess above average) and I can say with a straight face that Healing has no longer become my PRIMARY duty, because nothing I've done has required me to cast enough healing where it would be, and nothing in this game requires it, not even Ultimate!
(For clarification, I consider anything above 55% to be your primary duty/action, and it sure isn't healing.)

So I don't understand where all of this hatred of asking for more downtime activities(be it buffing/debuffing/damage spells) comes from. If they're not going to give us anything intensive to heal, is not asking for more downtime options a reasonable request?
