Latest Official Developer Statements About Healer DPS?

[Merrigan]

Again I will then ask, why have healers at all? Adding even 3 new damage options isn't going to be enough to make it suddenly fun. Adding more than that and your just making more DPS classes with heals for oGCD's rather than more damage. Hitting 2 buttons instead of 1 is not more fun. DPS are fun because their entire kit works together, its not because they get to hit more buttons. Damage would have to some way aid me or my allies in order for it to synergize with the rest of the kit therefore making it fun for the role.

I'm not saying its current state isn't boring, I'm saying adding another damage button won't make it fun and we will just continue asking for more damage buttons until healers are just DPS classes.

Most people are asking for more dps buttons because you certainly won't get anything else. I think so ?

Synergy would be extraordinary, but there's little chance of it taking shape because of the design of the fights. For the moment, personally: I'd just like to stop my hand hurting every time I do a long healer session, because of the repetitive nature of the movement.
