Well, thankfully, today, we have things like the guide I linked to, where you'd learn that soloing on healer is a real challenge, and that there are many other jobs where you'd have an easier time of it.

(Like, seriously, an actually useful criticism of what I said would relate to what the experience is like today, not what people had to suffer through eight years and a million expansions ago.)

Fun fact: My first foray into Pilgrim's Traverse was solo. With zero aetherpool and all that. I got through 1-10 just fine, in no small part due to my (solo) experience with PotD. It was basically PotD, but with less ugly scenery and a better soundtrack.
