There are a few instances where I'll start caring when playing as a tank.
1. The rate that I'm dying at is slower than the rate you can kill them at if you combined your healer dps in Cleric Stance with everyone else.
2. You're sitting there and overhealing me the moment I take 2 trash mob hits. Every time. Then you wait and repeat.
3. You have a lot of mana and are still keeping me topped off on health.
4. Raiding.
5. PvP.
There's also the argument where you're not using most of your abilities as a healer. It'd be like a tank who uses no defensive cooldowns or the DPS who refuses to follow a rotation made painstakingly by Samuel L. Jackson. I could see a thread covering a very similar topic on both tanks and DPS and you'd get mostly the same types of responses seen here. One example? Look at the people pulling 300 dps by using their skills... while others pull 400 dps by spamming a single skill instead.
My opinion though? Sure, you can play a healer how you want. The moment you prove really incompetent though? That's when you'll receive a stern talkin' to.
