I can’t answer for wow since eve if my second char is a holy pala and better geared i do not meet the requirement to do much content but as other game , i feel like i have much more control on the matter and the way the game goes as a healer but i also find enjoying to keep people alive.
Even if it was a close shave this give an adrenaline rush just like back then when tanking. PS: I hate healing people that are insulting, i have some patience but to an extend.
Easy.
I tried all three roles, and noticed the easiest and less stressful role in game was healer.
Least amount of boss mechanics to handle. Mana is infinite and it is very easy to use healing spells.
Am a Healer!
Depends on the content you participate in.
Progressing content or hard content, healer has way more duties than a dps/tank has.
That would be tanks.
Healers have to: Heal, DPS, manage resourses, Dispel, cc, pass defensives + deal with everything the rest have to do.
Mana is infinite on your monk?
When you are 478 and healing heroic, might be!
Try healing a mythic encounter and let me know about infinite mana 
Reading what you said above…Highly doubt it xD
They’ve got to be geared
And they’ve got to be buffed
And they’ve got to be second to none.
Now you made me watch it AGAIN! Oh well, I’ll forgive you, since it’s the best produced video of its type ever, IMO.
actually, its very much the other way around for me.
i ve always been a healer or support because its a natural tendency for me as im quite caring and protective. i love helping, healing people and being part of a group is very important for me. i like it when people can count on me and i do a good job.
its the most appealing when tanks do big pulls or it gets stressful. just the way i have to prioritise who gets healed/dispelled first and using all my cooldowns to get us through is really fulfilling.
i just cant understand people who are all about big dps or being number one in kills or whatnot. i dont know why but its completely uninteresting for me and always has been. everytime i play dps in any game i just…dunno…i bore out and lose interest after a few games and go back to healing/supporting.
but when i clutch heal someone and we make it despite all the odds or i duo up with someone and he is able to get a ton of kills because i kept him alive then thats just, i dunno, it hits a sweet spot for me.
guess its the equivalent of being top dps or having the most kills.
i do have dps characters in wow but i barely play them. dont even know when i last touched my hunter. i recently made a tank but i still have serveral healers as my priority when i play.
Tanks tactics are very punishable if not done correctly.
IMO Healers you can ignore everything, and even if you mess up there are more healers to cover up for you compared to tanks.
I disagree with the remaining of your post. If you think mana is difficult to manage you should have tried Cataclysm Heroic dungeons back then. Nowadays Mana is like non-concern for majority of contents.
I healed since WOTLK. I am just saying IMO healing is the easiest role.
only in raids though. in m+ noones going to cover up for you.
What content are you healing?
Not taunt intime you mean? Yep.
Do you know what happens if a healer fails to channel their CD in a demanding content? Take a guess.
Funny to say since you never done even 1 mythic encounter according to your armory. Try healing nzoth mythic for example and come back at me with your arguement. Unless you play Hpala. That is different.
For your heroics… Maybe
For demanding content, the role that carry the most responsibility is the healer.
Even in raids, cooldowns are set throught a 12m fight like nzoth. If a healer do not use CD’s its punishing, besides that tanks cant withstands such big hits therefore a healer has to have his defensive CD up in the required time.
According to armory… Heroics.
that wasnt my point though.
I love healing myself. Every single mmorpg I played I chose a healer. Though as I don’t raid anymore I usually play as balance now because it’s faster to do content
I love this video! It’s my favorite. Sharm has a beautiful voice
I haven’t mained healer this patch but I have mained a healer for my serious content most of wow. In vanilla it became a dwarf priest after I maxed my gnome mage, belf pally in TBC and Wrath, Troll Shaman/Worgen Priest in Cats, took a break and returned in Legion and then Monk was my healer main along a DH tank. In BFA I mained a priest and shaman healer up till 8.3 then swapped to a Hunter.
I like being the supporter. I like setting up plays and helping other people shine. I like a triage playstyle. Healing is a natural fit for me. Even in Mobas like LoL or HoTS my primary played roles are support/healer. My main in Everquest was a healer
It feels so good when you manage to just keep a group from dying during a super hard pull, it gives a huge buzz, adrenaline and you feel like you’ve worked hard. Sure DPS and tanks work hard during such monster pulls, but ultimately their fate during it is not their own, it is yours.
Healing gives the biggest buzz during progression content regarding dungeons. You work your backside off and it is obvious how it matters and impacts, it’s very visible. Conversely you get a bit more opportunities to relax during farm overheated content.
I really hope blizz introduce a new healer some time. I love learning how the different healers have worked over time.
Extremely fast queues, pugging is a lot easier, you’re a lot more valued in groups, and I find the role very relaxing.
It’s like wack-o-mole, only you have different sized hammers (heals)
For me healing is more relaxing than tanking or dpsing in dungeons
Do you know what will happen if Tanks fail to use their defencisves/taunts on demanding content? Take a guess.
Do you know what will happen if DPS fail to follow tacticts on demanding content? Take a guess.!
All roles gets more demanding and difficult at higher content, except IMO healers do not require as much knowledge as the others.
I dont understand this statement? I have to do the exact same mechanics as the others most of the time.
Been playing healer since early Wotlk. I agree with this 100%. In most cases, you can even go into raids without a clue and just heal. DBM will do most of the work anyway.
Healers are basically followers of the group that just keep everyone alive, and DPS on downtime.
I used to love being a healer or dps hyprid healer helping people but the toxic behaviour and constantly being blamed for the mistakes that dps them self make by standing in everything they can made me quit healing.
I do miss being a healer somedays but i don’t miss the stress or the idiots who have no manners at all.
I learned a tactic towards this. You point out the DPS making the stupid mistake before they have a chance to even type anything. It makes them feel stupid, trust me 
I haven’t had any complaints about healing for years
