I think that reflects that issue of the Devs not having decided what they really are going to do, though. The problem is, they need to decide already. And for the love of all that's holy, would it KILL them to not have ONE healer that isn't DoT based? Casters have RDM, Tanks have WAR, but if you're a healer and dislike DoTs, there's no Job in the game for you to play other than...WAR, I guess, or maybe RDM? Which aren't healers!

The current iteration of summoner doesn't have any DoTs either, and they can always pretend to be bad healers by spamming Physick. Speaking of which, I think it would nice if they could maybe take Bio from Scholar and give it to summoner instead so they can at least have a DoT skill once again.

Actually, Summoner has one DoT.... But he can't sustain it all the time because it's part of the Garuda's spell... So I guess it doesn't count

Having a DoT isn't a bad choice in term of gameplay... But it has to be rewarding at some point. Healer's DoT only rewards their DPS, but nothing else, and that's if they managed to keep it up all the time.

For exemple, Sage heal one person WHILE ATTACKING. No other healer are able to do that (The fairy from the Scholar doesn't count because it's not based on attack and it heals the person with the lowest %HP).

What if we tie the DoT with some kind of mecanic of healing ? Maybe if you use a new ability with the DoT of the white mage for exemple, Half of the potency of your DoT actually heals your whole team (Lumen being at 60 Potency, this will make a 30 Potency heal on time for 30 sec, which is literally a 300 Potency heal over time). He doesn't have to be exactly like that, but that could give some people a idea for what they can do in order to rewards the DoT more than simply DPS.
