There is not enough to heal that makes up for unending dps spam ad nauseam. Most of your time spent as a healer is dealing damage because the receiving damage is abysmally undertuned. Even in ultimate it has been proven repeatedly that most of spells casts is your single target dps spell, even in the recent solo heal clear of DSR Which shouldn't even be possible to begin with, but ya know, just stand there and do nothing I guess. Very fun, engaging gameplay to either just stand there and wait until you can cast a single healing spell or two. Which isn't much worse than 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1. Also, Unless your dps are absolute brainlets you should not be doing more dps than them in any circumstances. If you are outdps-ing the literal dps, that's the actual dps's fault, not the healers.
i don't see how it's a piss poor argument. there's not enough to heal for healers who know what they're doing, we completely agree on that point. as well as healers out-dpsing the actual dps not being the fault of the healers, thats on the dps. but we're operating under the assumption that the average healer knows exactly how to play their class "optimally" (???) and uses their full kit. the average healer usually doesn't, in my experience and likely many others considering i see more often people complaining about poor healers (not healing, not holy-ing, only using cure, not touching regen/medica/etc.) which is more often than not the reality. + when people go for advice on the "proper" way there's usually not a one size fits all cookie cutter template which should exist, it being... use your full kit. that and don't tank aoes. it's that simple, every healer should be told this at a beginning level.
