Reduce focus on Healers healing - This would mean raid damage would either have to decrease, or increase self sustain by everyone else, so that healers woul essentially have time to commit to a dps rotation
Or they could go with option 3: Put equal importance on the healing kit and the damage kit while raising healing requirements

Just boost healer damage up to tank levels so their damage output will settle to about the same as the percentages now even when they're forced to GCD heal.
