Yeah I’m sure that opinion is agreed on with any mythic raid team.
unfortunately a lot of people wouldn’t be, having so many gaps is extremely boring.

And you do you enjoy the game you play. But on the same note and not saying you do but plenty who are don’t complain about not being a part of harder content when your not willing to step up
DPSing is extremely boring. 
But that’s my point. People say that spec has to go because its too easy to play, and I’m trying to say its not too easy, it just allows me to do other things than follow a spell casting rotation pattern and look at hp bars.
A player “awareness capacity” issue (which btw is one of the biggest ‘secret sauce’ things in designing a game, keeping a player right at that edge of being able to control what is going on in front of them).

yeah, that’s why I play a healer, so it’s a secondary metric for when I don’t need to heal to keep me interested in the content I’m doing instead of snoozing between damage events.
I will never be interested in Content that would require me, a healer whom enjoys healing and does not enjoy dpsing, to DPS.
I will also never complain about not being able to do said content, because said content is not fun to me. Period.
What are you even on about. Why are you being so brash?
Maybe the content that matters to you doesn’t to them? I know it’s a hard concept but not everyone wants to play on the level of you and there are tons of people that don’t. You are the minority.
No need to be condescending and rude to give an opinion. A little understanding and kindness goes a long way, I know with superiority complexes it’s hard but you should give it a go.
You seem like a guy with good knowledge to share too. Such a shame.
The idea is spell rotating should be muscle memory and requires almost 0 attention to be payed towards. As for hp bars and whats going on around you I believe for most players thats a ui setup problem. I personally have raid bars set under my char model so I can them and whats happening around me without having to glance around. Again easy specs are fine but should not be as rewarding as those with more complexity
Maybe you should play a tank then, if you want your main role and DPS role at the same time.
I simply don’t find dealing damage interesting or engaging. I’d much rather be spending my time, healing people, CCing things, interupting things, or preventing damage, if I can.
Or he can play heals and dps when healing isnt required like allot of us do
To DPS as a healer has never been a problem for me, it is something I have been doing well before I started to play WoW like 6 years ago.
Hey I am glad it’s not just me that struggles with it 
I hope it helps as much as it did me.
yeah, and if he is doing content where it doesn’t matter what he does, then the healing requirement would be low enough to be really all that fun to use
Yeah and that’s fair, but these hot takes are everywhere, and it’s the same thing a lot of healers have been doing for years, it’s just now everyone else is finally seeing it, so you should either adapt for the change in gameplay, or not really worry about how it plays and just chill in content where it doesn’t matter if you dps or not, seeing as they’re doing content where it doesn’t matter how much you maximise, then it doesn’t matter if you dps or not, I dunno why people feel like they’re compelled to do something in environments where it doesn’t matter.
Tried it and I don’t mind it, but I can also do all of those you listed while filling in the downtime with those very same dps spells, it lets me feel like an actual support and actually involved in the fights instead of lazing back waiting for damage to happen

Plenty of ways to feel like an “Actual Support” that has absolutely zero to do with DPSing.
I don’t consider dealing damage as a healer in any way as “Support”
And I never will. It’s just being a half-baked dps.
And that’s fair, but I don’t like the idea of advocating or even suggesting removing the opportunity to add damage to the raid.

I’ve always thrown out dps as a healer. It’d be impossible to balance 100% up time on actually healing. I do not enjoy afk’ing, i’m glad i’m not useless outside of a heal every now and then.
If anything I agree with people in that raids need to do more damage, I need to have a reason to use my mana bar, and they should pull away from making dps such a massive contribution as it’s becoming, that way you can actually use dps in the downtime instead of spending a ton of time dpsing
edit: not just raid, but all pve content*

I never once said that I want them to remove people’s abiltiy to DPS.
I simply said I’d be content if they did, because I don’t consider that a major part of the spec.
I simply believe that PvE content should be more balanced around the DPS doing their jobs, not having healers have to pick up the slack.

okay, you got me there
tbh yeah raid damage should go up and enrage timers should be loosened, and I’d prefer if we had more fun interactions when we do dps so we can fill in the gaps with something that feels worth it
Having additional options to enable your tanks / dps to do their jobs (through supportive buffs, temporary or long term), prevent damage, or interupt/cc more in encounters would be far more interesting than tossing out very weak DPS imho.
