Either that, or there just aren't enough people who play healers who also do high-end content on them.

Savage is very brutal on healing at the moment so the idea of all that outgoing damage, 30k autos, raidwide bleeds, double bleed tankbusters, and stuff of that sort would probably scare a lot of people away.
