Let's not forget MSQ where you will also have to DPS, especially in the several 1v1s it throws you into. If DPS is going to be required it should be more interesting than spamming 1 button.
At minimum ilvl. I think, as has been stated by the devs before, that healer dps is expected more when you're at the ilvl or below it. But they're supposed to have balanced the fight with minimal healing dps.

Whether that is still true or not, they won't really say.

Which is extremely counter-intuitive. As ilvl goes up, dps goes up as does tank survivability, meaning healers will have less to heal and MORE time to dps.
