but if one wants to not be expected to heal and doesn't feel like wasting time/slots on the hotbar for something not needed, playing a class literally classified as a healer doesn't sound right for them. if someone wants to do the big numbers without having to heal or being expected to heal, dps class would be their better bet. ++ as you say, they can play a dps with utility heals if they want to (someone shockingly) stop dps-ing to heal.
