To me is funny that is true... however this doesn't really feel that good to me. I mean, I am healing, but knowing that what is coveted for a healer - their spammy dps - is being traded off, makes me feel bittersweet about doing 'the job'.

That's probably why healing in WoW (my only other good reference) feels rewarding. Outside of very specific runs, healers aren't expected to weight in a lot of dps, and so, released from that burden, keeping people alive feels great.
