A summary of healer issues

[Aravell]

But taking a step back, why are we designing for people who are more worried about what some third-party website tells them than doing their actual job?

I think this right here is a large issue. Designing jobs for people who care so much about their funny numbers on a website is hurting the game in general, not just the healer role. Why should it matter that healing loses damage? Isn't that normal? I have to wonder how many of the people who are so concerned with losing damage by GCD healing are actually doing the content where losing that damage actually matters.
