That is the most bullshit excuse you can give. The fight is doable with fucking 4 healers that are curing worth a fuck. And yes, you can have two healers in MT grp and one healer picking up grp 3 and 4.
Healers that dont cure is like Brigands who say they are DPS and cant be bothered to debuff b/c it fucks up their zonewide.

So, whats the difference between a healer saying theyre too busy to cure and a DPS saying theyre either too cheap to buy a potion that costs 17s to make, or that they're too concerned with their own dps over the success of the raid that they cant take 1 second to click a potion.... same thing.
Yes, it can be done by having healers cure.... but its far more efficient to have people cure themselves. Even if you're healers are spot on with cures..... its still a 1 second cast on each person, and unless you have 6 non MT healers, who all have it coordinated who is going to cure who when it hits, and it hits the same people all the time (yeah, way too many ifs, and who the fuck has that many healers) its more time efficient to cure yourself.
Examples.... 2 or more people in my group get hit. Not only to I stop healing the tank when he's taking the most damage to cure people..... but it will take me a 1 second cast for everyone in my group who is hit, which will most likeley be 2 or 3..... and with the .5 recovery its 2.5 sec to cure 2, 4 sec to cure 3... etc... as opposed to the 1 second cast it takes you to click a potion. Now, lets say you're talking healers with group cure trauma (defiler... MT group, usually only 1 in a raid, warden... MT group... maybe have a 2nd warden.... templar, again, MT group... unless you have 2) which are usually the MT healers unless you have doubles..... it still is a 2 sec cast on group cure..... which still makes it faster to cure yourself.
To me, its really hard to believe that people would not want to just cure themselves, since its so much quicker and easier. Most other shit doesnt matter.... but since this does matter how fast you cure... it just makes sense.... I cant think of any GOOD reasons for not doing it... the only bad ones i can think of are... 1) You are too cheap to buy something that costs 17s to make (sure your guild has an alchy who would do for cost.... if thats too much money, I kinda wonder how you even repair) 2) You just want someone to blame other than yourself when shit goes bad, since.... the healer didnt cure me, sounds better than... i didnt cure myself... or 3) You're so selfish that you would rather do things in a way that will only benefit you and not the raid.... and dont want to lose out on that 1 second of DPS (think of that the next time you ask a summoner for a heart/shard in combat)
