@Morose True, but at the same time, you still have players who expect a "healer" to only heal. Also, depends on what the group does. For example, when speed pulling, the helaer may not have much choice as the tank generally grabs as many mobs as possible so the dps can aoe them down, leaving the healer doing all they can to keep the tank alive. Run into this a lot in ff14 when I am going healer (white mage in my case). I can toss in some damage, but mostly end up using my stun aoe for a quick breather and potential save.
