Quote:I think this is the correct strategy. Healers, if they're skilled, don't really need synergies to perform their tasks well.Totally true. DPS is the name of the game and it's what a raid should always synergize for. Higher DPS is better healing anyway; the shorter the encounter lasts, the more healpower healers can pump out in a shorter amount of time without running out of mana (or even worry about conserving any). It has an exponential effect.
As an extreme hypothetical, if raid DPS was high enough such that any boss enounter was 2 minutes or less, a Priest could just spam Flash Heal constantly without having to worry about overheal, etc. Ok, silly, but you get my point.
If you want bear mounts, or to get out of Kara in 90 minutes or less, you want DPS DPS DPS. Take only as much healing as you need minimum. The only factor in that is that the better skilled and geared your healers are, the less you need to bring to any raid - which also boosts DPS, which makes healing easier, which... :)
