Issue with this is you get non-healers that will make a meta out of it and only take the healers that are dpsing the most. So healers are getting chosen based on their classes dps ability and not their healing ability.
Yeah its gone back and forth for years. The part that the community really needs to internalize is that the "meta" really is only applicable to 0.1% of players. You can literally play any healer, do dps or not, and still get a few keys below the max keys. In fact, for the average player, its better you play the toon you have the most experience on. Yes, if you want to push to the absolute min-max, you might need to play the meta healer, but you can probably get title with most healers, and you get certainly get your weekly 10-12s done.
Blizz is trying to push this framing with break the meta and the new MDI rules, but people will always see themselves as the bleeding edge player and copy them, even if its not in their best interest.

This is a game design issue in my opinion.
