Correct me if I'm wrong but based on what I've read (and replayed in MINE raids) there was also less DPS pressure because Coils had looser enrages than later raids and more outgoing damage, proportional to HP maximums.

I can't confirm that from personal experience but from what I've heard from my friends the dps checks in ARR were indeed very lenient and with the higher focus on GCD heals, heal (and overheal) generating a lot of aggro, Cleric Stance and MP being tighter, dpsing was riskier in general. At least from the casual content that I did I can say that sometimes just healing the unavoidable got me a bit of unwanted attention and I often had to time heals to hit right after damage like during story Nabriales' triple spark. So not starting another GCD to not miss the timing was perfectly viable and without Cleric Stance it only did very little damage anyway.
Not saying that not dpsing was an option but there was less focus on seamless GCD uptime and trimming heals down to the bare minimum while spending every GCD on damage.
