However, that's not at all interesting for the healers. As a healer I do not want a "free ride", that comes off as extremely condescending in tone.

That hasn't been my experience in any game in which I've played a healer, nor would I want it to be my experience in this one- by the way in all of those other game healers had many options , such as through skill tress- to both heal and do damage. This game has been far more simplified in that aspect than it used to be,
