You don't need selfheal; it's a good crutch if you get hit by things you shouldn't get hit by but every solo duty can be cleared without dipping into class or even role-specific selfheal/ mitigation.
I cleared it on BLM, it's really just a matter of not getting hit by things because natural regen, enhanced with the solo duty buff, takes care of every unavoidable damage and then some. It's better to drop damage and just run to avoid something, dragging the fight out a bit longer, than getting hit by something.
