If you’re playing in a Grievous or even Bursting week, DPS players absolutely should be doing some healing on the side. In SL you can remove Grievous stacks with a non-periodic heal, and you can dispel Bursting.

We had healer like that in guild. So do I have to say more… or just “ WE HAD”
Remember most classes have heal on cldw and bandage heals like lesser healing potion from vanilla
Tell me again who said you should use a health pot unnecessarily?
Uhh yeah… I uh
I knew that…
Ahem. Bye

As long as the healer does dps.

Ah yes lemme use my great healing powers to aid the healers in combat.
But seriously, whenever I played on my ret pally or boomy I have tossed out plenty of heals.
And the thing you should be worried about is people who never use a single defensive cd other than when they reach 5 percent hp and panic.

I thought making them was tailoring, but anyone can use.

I agree.
I want to see warlocks and DKs tending to the injured, cooing soft and helpful words of encouragement.

Not sure, I have not even seen people use bandaging in Battlegrounds, much less arena, so imagine in Dungeons.
I actually did on my ret pally. 
you do know the 2 have separate cooldowns right?
I mean, most DPS do contribute to group healing and survivability.
I cast wild growth at the end of each pack on Bursting Weeks.
The Havoc DH I play with uses Darkness on predictable AoE damage about 6 times every dungeon we run.
The spriest I sometimes play with with shield players hit by particularly nasty DoTs and spam heal through Bursting and use Vampiric Embrace during periods of high group damage. He also mass-dispels effects regularly.
DPS should absolutely be contributing to the healing and over-all survivability of the group. It’s everyone’s job.
Healers should absolutely be contributing to the damage of the group. It’s everyone’s job.
Tanks should also absolutely be contributing as much DPS as they can to each encounter. It’s everyone’s job.
This sudden, new attitude of “I will only do ONE express job in a group” is ridiculous and lazy. Bad players I guess trying to normalize not playing optimally?
If my Mythic+ Rdruid healer isn’t at LEAST Sunfiring every pull and going cat form to swipe spam during down time he’s not getting invited back. Ever.
How is this a difficult concept?

Yeah. Haven’t used one in so long I had forgot.
Ehh I still use the bleed ones in duels. /shrug
Jokes on you I already throw shields and Vampiric Embrace and top off people with Shadow Mend on Grievous week whenever I can. Now get DPSing.

Nah that’s the healers job when they don’t have downtime to DPS.
I remember a story on the boards some time ago about a warrior who claimed he was a healer. He’d give everyone healing potions and would bandage.
you know it’s fine to say “i didn’t know”
Never show weakness
