I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

[Aravell]

You mean the expansion where one healer was completely benched, one spec of the one healer with specs (AST) was mostly benched, and people who didn't enjoy DPSing on healers were sidelined from content?

Benched? Sidelined from content?

Look, you said yourself that you occasionally dabble in just the first 2 floors of savage, so this is probably second-hand information (I assume this pertains to hard content because no one is locking jobs out of casual content no matter how bad they are). Take it from someone that cleared every SB tier on 2 characters and joined an extensive amount of PFs during that expansion, there were a multitude of WHMs, Noct ASTs and also healers that do 20-40% of their theoretical damage output, all of these healers cleared on the patch of release (the lower output healers cleared on patch as well, just later in the patch), that doesn't sound like anyone was being sidelined, and that's in the hardest content the game has to offer at the time.
