That's nice, but many do want a new healer, and just like tanks, it might take adding a new healer to shake up their current healer format enough to introduce those changes that would give us more interesting and fun healers to play.
Healers are currently stifled by the shield/regen dichotomy. We have a regen healer, a shield healer, and a wildcard to fill in the gap. A fourth healer necessitates tearing down that dichotomy, just like a fourth tank got rid of the MT/OT meta.
