Absolutely, categorically not.

I hate the "healing done" damage meter because the data it collects are so easily flawed by over-healing or unnecessary healing. Someone topping up a 6k health warrior every time he drops to 5k is always going to "beat" me if I only ever heal him when he drops lower, especially with mods that cancel heals if the target has over a certain percentage of health left. I'll have more mana left, but that isn't a concern of the meter.

In a typical instance healers are generally doing a lot more than just healbotting. Fortunately most people seem to appreciate it and frankly don't care where their healer ranks; I've not been on 40-person run yet, but I dearly hope to be able to avoid the competition that this player-generated content seems to engender.
You don't know what you're talking about.
