I'm sorry, but there is no good reason NOT to learn how to do this. Stance dancing is a valuable skill, so valuable in fact that the new Hall of the Novice teaches you to do it. It helps meet dps checks in later instances, and it makes lower level instances go by much faster. You learn things like Holy as a WHM and Gravity as an AST so you can spam them during pulls.Â
 It's a perfectly reasonable expectation of your party that if healing is not a priority, you contribute to the overall dps with those abilities of yours that would otherwise sit there stagnating. This is your job.
Nothing you mentioned wasn't an actual mistake. A good healer knows when to dps and when to heal and for how long, swapping between stances at a moment's notice and appropriately using their CDS and procs to ensure their tanks and dps stay alive.

If you go Cleric Stance and DPS, if anyone dies you're a terrible healer that needs to do their job.
If you stay out of Cleric Stance, still DPS /and/ heal, you're a terrible healer that needs to do their job.
If you stay out of Cleric Stance and do nothing but heal, you're a terrible healer that needs to do their job.
