I'd have to agree with C'kayah and Qhora as well as Hauntmedoitagain where healing is concerned.
In C'kayah's vein- OP is under 50 and is not at end game. Healing is very important in these dungeons where people are actually new, and yeah there are still a lot of new players.
Your first priority is to heal. Period. That's your role that SE deemed, otherwise we would have a choice to roll as a DPS- and I don't mean breaking it the finder which you can as it is said above. But before someone goes "oh you're one of those WHM", note I said 'first priority'.
IF I can DPS, I will, but it is not my primary focus. I am not a glorified DPS, I am not a Holy spammer... -Until- I can have the time and only if I have the mana to spare. I spam holy a lot during fate grinding and when I can elsewhere. I actually like holy a lot, I think it's a very beautiful skill. Luckily, I run with a BRD so this allows me to do it a lot more.
However; this also being said I am not at end game. If you're geared out the arse, you're bored, etc, etc, then feel free to do so.
But others do not have to do this. If they want to mostly focus on healing, then so be it. If people want to play cautious then that's playing cautious. That's not being a bad-anything. People have different play styles.
I personally will offer DPS where I can, yes- I'm not at end game or whatever, but I have been in instances where I would have been bored if I did not help out on DPS.
Though I will have to agree to disagree that the main job of a WHM is to 'MASS DESTROY'. Main job is to keep your party alive. This is not to say you should stand there with your thumb up your arse.
I believe we can all agree on that if you can spare the DPS do it. But if I'm personally running a DF or if I'm running randoms, etc, like Qhora I will not play around in stancing.
WHM/CNJ catch a lot of flack, it's a thankless job and you either get yelled at for healing or dpsing, and frankly it gets very... Very old.
EDIT: However, if you're running a full raid- and you only need one or two out of the 8 or 24 healing? By all means please DPS out the arse.
