I remember to this day all the crap I got as a WHM in XI because so often the tank charged in before everyone was ready and blamed me for not healing through it. I felt very much abused as a main healer and since then I never touched a similar class again. I'm thinking of trying healer classes again this time, but I hope to not come into the same type of toxic situation.
I've been playing CNJ since beta 1, and I can say that most groups I've been in have been very supportive, even when things go horribly wrong (or when people do dumb things, like stand in the cracks during Ifrit) and people die. So far, at least in beta 3, people have been very friendly to healers, though maybe that's out of desperation since there's only one class and it seems fairly uncommon past 15.
The only snarkiness I've encountered has been -- weirdly enough -- people getting unhappy when I don't heal lightly injured DPS or keep the tank at 100% all the time (which is pretty foreign to me; why would you want me to waste MP?). Even then, the snarkiness is rare and pretty light. It only happened in one group of the many dungeon runs I've done.
