So give it utility like PCT and move on. Not like the PCT heal is amazing.

Selfish DPS is just an outdated concept, ignoring poor MCH (who barely even counts as selfish as it’s the only DPS with 2 non conditional mitigations) a DPS shouldn’t immediately always be in contention for top spot simply because they don’t bring anything to the raid besides damage
There is also just the fact that where do you draw the line with utility? Is star prism utility (I’d say yes) is SAM’s disgusting new defensive that basically makes it an off tank utility (I’d say yes a lot of people say no)
The modern game is built so heavily around raid buffs that every DPS should have some form of conditional utility (like star prism or SAM’s defensive) so that every single tier the top of the charts isn’t dominated by the same 3 classes who are there simply because they are selfish
As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

All dps jobs should be selfish
There should be another role in the game called "support"
Which is not dps not tank not healer
They should have supporting utilities every 2 min buffs
Instead of giving it to all jobs and now we have tanks who heal more than healers(warrior)
Dancer bard should be support role they do all buffs for party
Light party:
1 tank
1 healer
1dps
1 support
Full party:
2 dps
2 support
2 healers
2 tanks
No such thing. Either you are the best in dps or you are balanced. They just need the PCT utility and then they will be fine. Besides, all classes have some kind of healing. You won't be the "best" no matter what, so take the utility and move on.
