I have proposed in a diff thread to add in a couple medals for us to mimic the easy to get dps medals but make it so that they are mirrors so to speak. If you get the heal version you can not get the dps version and vice versa..

Medals proposed (of course open to sugestion to change)

Kill blow medal mirrors to healing medal below.
Savior Medal : Heal a player who is under 10% hp with a heal bomb (with cast time)

10k protection medal mirrors to medal below.
Big Heals Medal! : Heal for ##k in a single life (heals on yourself do not count toward this total)

1v1 medal mirrors to the medal below.
Heal a player for ##k health in 1 life (in targets 1 life)

I think something like this would help healers out a lot. as it is I feel like hybriding my build is more beneficial as winning with 3 medals < losing with 9 medals.
I love this kind of thinking for improving the medal system.

If they did everyone would just heal themselves & let everyone die just to farm medals!
Its already been clarified I wasnt self-healing, read the posts from the people in the same warzone, just because youll never reach this level of play doesnt mean you have to hate on the people that are, plently of sorcs/sages are doing this im not the only 1.

Even with only 10 points in a damage tree you can do respectable damage. Not breaking 75K damage and getting at least 10 kills is your fault and nothing else.
Why would the healer take the time to deal damage rather than keep his team mates alive, when the teammates do more damage? Sure, in a situation when it's 2v1 the healer can afford to throw down some DoTs and an instant cast, but it is more effective to keep the people on your team alive as they're specced towards doing damage.

I stopped healing in Warzones.

Was getting an average of 6-7 medals while doing 500-800k healing.

Now getting an average of 9-10 medals while doing 300-500k damage.

A healer should always be ready to dps. If your team is killing a player then it is sometimes more efficient to finish them off than have your team take more damage from them. A healer should also be cc'ing and maximizing total offense or defense. It often saves more healing (damage) by killing a player quickly, than by just healing a teammate trying to kill that player. Already shown, sorc/sages can accomplish both and should do both. Easiest of the easymode classes for healing.

I'm not going to poo poo over your 900k healing because that is impressive, but you lost the match. That should be a hint. It looks like you tunnel visioned. You had the most heals, and the person with the highest damage was on your team, and you still lost. I know the complaint is about wanting there to be 600k and 900k medals, but you shouldn't be hitting that high on heals. In order to get that high on healing you have to actively be trying to get that high on healing. Take some of that effort and put it towards doing some damage. You don't get medals by doing 1 things. Yes, you get more medals for doing 1 thing as a damage dealer, but even as a DPS you still branch out and try to get some healing medals or tanking medals. Judging by the amount of time you were alive you should have easily gotten the 75k damage, 10 and 25 kill medals.

If teammate dies because you are doing mediocre dps when you could have saved them, you aren't doing your job. People like you need to just shove it.

No one else has to deal with the crap that healers have to deal with.

Healers have to DPS and heal while DPS just has to do DPS.

It's easy for someone to say what you've said since you don't have the skill necessary to do both.

I get 7/9 medals a WZ but in order to do it I have to drop around 100/200k overall healing.

When I have to drop 200k healing to DPS and get medals it screws over my teammates.

EDIT: When I DPS I drop around 200k to 400k healing and gain 50k to 75k damage. Obviously we shouldn't be DPS'ing... We're HEALERS!
