But this is what I don't get about everyone complaining about healers who stand around doing nothing. The only runs I have where I spend the majority of my time DPS-ing as a healer are runs I do with my Trusts. If I'm in a dungeon with people, the tank pulls loads, the DPS take damage, I count myself lucky if I manage to throw in any DoTs. I mean I Holy as much as I can, but that's only effective for mitigating damage the first few casts; after that everything gets a bit hair-raising. I really don't get all that much opportunity to use Art of War on SCH. Yeah on bosses I can DPS more, but I don't spend anything like 60% of my time with nothing to do (if I don't DPS). Even more so on AST.

So my question is, where are all these amazing dungeon runners that only need a minimum of healing and why are they never in my parties?
I get them all the time in DF groups (probably not the majority though). SCH especially probably has easiest time not casting a single GCD heal even for big pulls considering how many tools they have availible.

However, at least in Duty Finder, I'm fine with healers who at least don't waste their GCD with overhealing or doing nothing since it means they are putting in some effort and aren't watching TV on the side. I wouldn't mind having you in my party in DF by a long shot.
