Why no acknowledgement of overpowered heals?

Chances are you wouldn't have.

You seem to be saying that if there are more DPS than healer then the healer has to have higher HPS than the BEST enemy DPS. This is wrong. Imagine 2 teams with 1 healer and 7 DPS. If both team know what they're doing, the lone healer will be target of 7 DPS the moment any fight begins. Because we have no tanks, that lone healer is obviously going to die very horribly. It's almost unfathomable the healer could possibly pump out higher HPS than the best opposing DPS (probably some kind of ranged DPS). The healer might have a higher HPS than the average DPS on the other side, but he should not be able to touch the best DPS. And why should he, if he is indeed properly focus fired by the opposing team, and in this case we got no tank and no other healer so he can't possibly do anything to improve his survivality.

Now one thing you sort of alluded to is that tanks should be considered part of the healer crew. After all, if the tank didn't improve the healer's performance, why is he even there? He sure isn't going to out DPS the enemy DPS. So let's say you have these numbers:

Your top tank - 500K damage done, protection irrelevent (because any benefit of protection is reflected by the additional heals your healer did)
Your top healer - 1.5M healed
Their top DPS - 1 million damage done (X2)

In this scenario you can say it's perfectly fair that the healer healed for 50% more than their top DPS because your tank only did 50% of their DPS and makes up the other 50% as his Guard/other abilities improved your healer's survivality to do that extra in heals. But the healer did not do this alone. If you replaced your tank with a clone of the enemy DPS, then the healer's HPS is almost certainly going to drop. Further, there's no rule written in stone that the healer's total healed must not be less than 1 million. In particular, if the enemy top DPS then outplayed your top healer (say, by killing him now that he has no tank to hide behind), it'd be reasonable to expect your healer do heal less than what their top DPS did.

I didn't mention this earlier but the healer who healed 600K while dying 7 times was never guarded (compared to our DPS doing 500K with 1 death). I don't think they had a tank in the game. In fact if he's guarded you'd have to try really hard to die 7 times. So there's no tank to pump up the healer's HPS, but even while dying a rather ridiculous 7 times in the WZ, that guy still outhealed our best DPS who died only once.

I don't know what game you play but even when I was bubble spec I could out heal the highest damage.

Sounds like you're always hiding behind a tank then.

LOL another bad who only reads what he wants to read.

LOL? Wouldn't that be the smart thing to do?

Weenie healers always hiding behind tanks... drop that guard and facetank me like a man!!!

Back to the original point of this thread. Healing is what Bioware wants it to be. I said previously that it is not OP, and I don't believe that it is. I do think that the skill level required is significantly lower than pre- 2.0, but prior to 2.0 I remember complaints that there weren't enough support classes in WZ......
