I can’t always gather the mental focus needed to keep 4 suicidal cats alive at all times.
And it is a mental drain on my health whenever I do heal.

It is, but it definitely doesn’t apply only to Punyelf.
Because the way to play dungeons is to pull the entire thing all at once and I cannot be bothered with healing that.

All I used to do was play tank or healer classes and I ‘used to enjoy’ healing the most…
Like a previous post said, I play to have fun and not get PTSD…
It is just too stressful, NOT enjoyable and has been for a while now.

Plus a huge flaw of healing is that you need to look at the bars of 4+ other people + all the enemies.
Healing imho is too manual to be fun atm.

This game has no healers with cool fantasy. As somebody who prefers darker themes, my best bet is disc priest and thats it. If the spec sux or I get bored of it, I have no other choice.
Also every mechanic in the game is my mechanic, including babysiting the low IQ dpsers.
Pvp healing has bricked rating pushing and blizz doesnt give a F for years.
Because I dont like the role, never have and never will.
I tried to heal in dungeons this expansion with a freshly leveled Priest.
Got yelled at, decided it’s not worth it.

I have healed quite a bit this season. But once my healing chars are a bit geared - it just gets boring. While for the other two roles, it can actually get more interesting.
Healer being good geared → content becomes rather easy to a point where (as RSham) you can just toss random totems and those do like 30% of your healing. And even as HPriest, one heal can grant someone 60% of their health. Well…ok. Rough life.
Tank being good geared → push the boundaries, pull bigger
DPS being good geared → push the boundaries, your tank can now pull bigger
Healing is not easiest, playing a range dps is the easiest

None of the classes I play the most have healing spec.
When I play my priest I usually heal raids because is easier to get into them 
Just do more damage then, or maybe do harder dungeons?
Expecting healers to perform is not equal to trating them bad.
And yes just like DPS are expected to pump and tanks are expected to know the routes pull big and survive healers are expected to Play more then 5 minutes out of 30 in dungeon like it was pre DF .
Its so ironical that healers brough that all on themselves because inst ad shut up and DPS when there was nothing to heal they comppained for years that they are expected to DPS.
Do now not only healing is 10 times more stressfull but they are still expected to DPS from time to time
Did you just recently discovered you are playing MMORPG and not dark souls ?
That was literaly always the whole point of mmorpgs -_-
What do you mean with the last point?
Doing more damage as healer is quite an unrewarding phenomena, and often enough super clunky. To me it just feels like an awkward filling of spare CDs. Ofc I do it, but…eh…
And more difficult dungeons, yeah, sure. But up till 14s it’s been this. Beyond that it just gets more tedious to a point where it’s no longer fun regardless of the role for me.
I see, for me it is fun, as you can use your time efficently and do more damage, mechanics, etc…
which role is easiest depends on which you are most used too
I promise you I am a better tank then I am a healer and dps put together
reason?
its been my main spec for 20 years

This only applies to Totemic with emphasis on Chain Heals 
The other RSham builds do not have this “exploit”. Though it is quite funny sometimes clearing entire T11 Delves with just Healing Stream Totems and Earthshield on yourself and Brann (no Riptides, no Healing Surges etc.)
Does it truly get to you? The words of strangers online.
