Why is the healer class basically a one spell dps class?

[Absurdity]

I wonder if the current ogcd heal quantity is part of the issue with healers. I’m sure that’s contrary to what some like, but I’m wondering if they bloated their kit in the wrong direction. Remove some of those ogcd heals and add differing support skills or even more dps skills. Maybe the choice should be learning when to rely on ogcd’s/dps vs times where I need cast harder hitting heal spells. As it stands now it’s ogcd above all so I can have an uninterrupted pew pew chain. This might open some differing identities for the healer types. Like the white mage assize spell. If their kit was about dps spells that also healed through minor damage, but required casted major heals at times it could possibly create an interesting mechanic.

Oh, no doubt about that, the overabundance of powerful oGCDs has made healing easier than ever before.
