If you do little or no DPSing as a healer, and your party dies to enrage, then you didn't exactly keep the party alive, did you.

Every job, regardless of your role, is responsible for doing as much damage as it can to the boss. Every job, regardless of role, is responsible for doing everything possible for keeping the party alive. These are not mutually exclusive aspects to the DPS and healers. Healers need to DPS just as much as DPS need to use mitigation and do mechanics correctly as to not kill their allies, which is to say, they need to do as much damage as they can squeeze out of their GCD. That is how the game is fundamentally designed. SE may not like that, but that's how they designed FFXIV. Choosing not to DPS as a healer or intentionally using your shitty GCD heals when you know you would be better off using your OGCD heals instead is called griefing, because you are intentionally underplaying for selfish gain which is rude and disrespectful to other players. That is universal online gaming etiquette.
