I main a WHM and an AST, and I don't stance dance on either of them. I've also never been asked to DPS when I wasn't in cleric stance, tanks don't really seem to care - or maybe I've just had crazy good luck in getting tanks who don't mind one way or another.
In low level dungeons, generally I'll try a bit more to shift stances when everyone's fully healed to help DPS, but especially on my AST (who has awful DPS anyway so rlly what's the point), I generally only throw up a few dots before I shift out of cleric stance again.
I dunno, I didn't pick a healing class to DPS. If I wanted to DPS, I would've gone Bard, or Summoner- and honestly sometimes when you get bot tanks or new players who are still learning their classes, I find it safer just to sit back and heal. But that's what I think!
