Is healing supposed to be this...hard?

[Risvertasashi]

As most of the threads in here show, healing is currently so easy that a lot of people actually get bored of spamming their one dps button for more than 60% of a fight.

And 60% is putting it lightly. Just checked one of my e8s kills - 80% of my GCDs are damage, a lot of the healing GCDs are regen, and that's with room to optimize further... bet the earlier fights are even more than 80% of my uptime on DPS.

...But leveling is a different ball game. In leveling dungeons, the sync points are low enough - and then combine that with lower end gear both the healer and tank might have - and sometimes big pulls can be a struggle, yeah. Small pulls basically never are even with crap gear now.
