If one person isn’t doing half their job then by definition the run isn’t going smoothlyIf a run's going smoothly and we're moving along without noticeably long pauses, then I'm not going to care if the healer is dpsing or not. The dps are obviously doing their jobs. If someone in that situation was harping on dps and was typing more than fighting, they're probably the one I'd get annoyed with. A dungeon really isn't the time or place for extensive instruction. I've seen some mentors try to do that when the rest of us are just trying to get through the run, so there are some mentors who do need to pick their timing better.
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
