Yes they are. In fact both of the healing jobs are able to DoT in Crystal Tower, Extreme Primals, and all five Turns of Coil (except the turn 3 death run and Turn 2 enrage strategy) when appropriate - and it's appropriate very frequently. If you're only healing when you could be DoTing as well then you're probably doing a fine job of healing, but you aren't being the best party member you can be.
You can even do long cast stuff if you're familiar with the fight and understand the enemy attack patters enough, that's how I get away with using Holy in Turn 4.
Edit: Contributing to the topic of the thread. I really, really want Time Mage to be the second job for Conjurer. Crossing my fingers~
