DPSing isn't done "safely for a few seconds" it's literally done all of the time. Savage and Ultimate are designed for you to constantly be hitting that one button. Even solo healing DSR you cannot escape having your 1 primary damage nuke being the button you hit the most. The fights are designed so you are DPS in everything but name. I'm really not sure why you use Cleric Stance as a reason for why we cannot have anything more than 1 button to press - seems like SCH was doing just fine from a DPS perspective back in Stormblood where old Cleric Stance didn't exist. Nobody is asking for a "samurai level DPS rotation", stop creating strawmans nobody is asking for. If having 2 more DoTs to manage on SCH would be "samurai level" I really have no clue what to say to you. We can keep bad things in the past while also bringing back good things again. Nobody is asking for punishing systems like Cleric Stance, stop trying to use it for a justification on why they gutted healers in Shadowbringers, an expac after they removed old Cleric Stance.
Having started healing as a SCH when cleric stance existed I had far more fun back then- not that I am saying that we need to have the exact same system- but it was perfectly possible to heal and have interesting (and meaningful) DPS options back then.
