I've really seen more of people assuming that they don't need to use personal mitigation, or just taking avoidable damage.

So what's not usually considered typical to heal through? if someone is standing off in Narnia, or every time the party is standing over HERE they insist on standing over THERE, or even worse is repeatedly standing in aoes, or standing next to the tank and eating TBs (repeatedly), then at a certain point you should be thinking about what you're doing wrong. It's not about punishment someone, or acting like God, it's more about their being rather selfish at that point.

The exception to all of the above is for sprouts or anyone who's new (CS).
I completely agree. In the half year Ive played 14, Ive only encountered the "I refuse to heal even though it will cause a wipe and cost all of us more time" once, and it was in aurum vale, with a group of at least half totally new people. But attitudes toward healing like the one exhibited by the OP are just intolerable and a blight on the game.
