"Healing has always been the easiest thing in every MMORPG I've ever played - watch for a dropping hp bar, fill it!"
Wait.
Wut.

The real question is can they increase job diversity while making each job more engaging to play while also avoiding making each job's playstyle a disorganized mess.

Is that really what most healers are asking for, a couple extra DPS buttons? Does that mean that Sage is perfect as a healer, since there are, um, 4 DPS buttons instead of 2?
You mean Toxicon, which is a DPS loss or DPS neutral if using the stacks given at the start/fishing in disconnects? Or Pneuma, which is a heal that does the same amount of damage as Dosis? Yeah you've solved it, just make buttons you don't want to press but they do the same thing as your 1 button spam! SGE does not have a different DPS rotation than any of the other healers, and it's arguably the least complex in what it has to do for its DPS optimization.
A better way to put it would be an effort to break up how consistently we are spending our GCDs on our filler nuke. AST has considerably more do to than the other healers, especially during it’s opener and burst windows, but it’s still slamming that same 1 button throughout the whole process.
ARR forced us to spend far more GCDs healing, HW introduced more oGCDs but gave us enough busy work between offset dots and harder hitting fights that the issue wasn’t really prevalent like it is now.
Personally I don’t care how SE achieve it at this point. I’m just sick of pressing the same GCD routinely 9+ times in a row with some insane tally at the end of the duty. 6.1 WHM is a step in the right direction, they just need to keep it up.

Not when it’s a net loss vs the alternatives in your kit.
This is why the seemingly small Lily potency change for WHM was such a big deal and a positive step forward
