Going through these comments and everyone poo pooing healers seem to think it's about difficulty? That's really just something that exacerbates the already present problem: being a healer is boring. It only gets less boring when everything goes wrong, which hey. I don't think any of us want to be wishing for.

I feel like this disparity was much more tolerable before WAR could just heal themselves AND everyone else just as well. It becomes pretty glaringly obvious what a skeleton of a kit you're left with when your most basic skill is redundant. I've been able to just go along with it for each expansion, but for real... I'm redundant if I play healer in anything top level.
