As one of those WHM who's learning a lot about how to play and the schemes of each dungeon, I DO focus on healing. I'd like to think I'm doing a decent job as a healer, but it's a bit nerve-wracking to get in a PUG group and have people complaining about the WHM not DPSing. So thank you!
And on that note, as a WHM... I always choose good tank. I've seen one or two amazing tanks, and they have made me starstruck.
Do not, do not, do not let those weird snobs on the main forums convince you that you are somehow a "bad" healer if you don't DPS at every opportunity. Â They are living in Magical Fantasy Land ™ where they run with their static group and never have an issue with a tank. Â In Reality Land ™, which is where everyone else lives, tanks in randoms are, quite often, way too squishy to do anything but babysit as is (and if it's not the tanks, it's the DPS who are attempting to be tanks and failing horribly). Â Unless you're 100% comfortable with the fight and the people you're with, I'd advise against DPSing. Â The GCD is simply too damn long for major mistakes.
