That is the key to it, Glare spam can be interrupted with no penalty at any cost, to save whoever just ate some raid mechanic to the face. So an "actual" DPS rotation does not fit into the healing lifestyle.
Why go to extremes to make an example? There is a massive difference between a full fledged dps rotation and spamming a single button. No one's asking to have a full heal toolkit plus an entire dps toolkit, but an in-between would be great.

There are plenty of ways to do it while being able to fit healing in. Combos don't have to break if you heal, look at how forgiving Dancer combos are for example. You can have several procs that could open weave windows that are ideal for oGCD healing. An extra DoT. A higher MP instant cast Glare/Broil for weave. Seraph Strike. More aoe. Lots of ideas they could try.

Their design philosophy wouldn't change either. If you just run Normal and MSQ, healbot and don't do much dps it doesn't even affect you, just do what you normally do. It's just something extra for the players who have learned the class.
