But having at least one healer with the added layer of keeping a close eye on their MP and MP tools isn't inherently wrong.
Healers having different strengths and weaknesses isn't a bad thing.

Well, to be fair - We all do have to watch MP like this. Regardless of what healer you (theoretical 'you') might play, you have to pop lucid on CD, and your other MP button (Aetherflow/Thin Air/Draw). If you stop paying attention to that, you will run out in any decent length boss fight where healing isn't completely nonexistent.

The real problem is that it's hard to add dimensions to it beyond "use this tool whenever you can".

Also, on the DPS side, casters are the same way. Well, BLM and PLD use it differently - they have "build and spend" mechanics. But RDM and SMN just don't care about MP, unless rezzes start happening. Pop lucid, and forget about MP is their modus operandi too.
