You can go into the new 5 Mans as a DD with pure Heal equip and
will do probably not worse than many others.
It's the same even in the LFR.
So I'd say: get your healing gear because you aim to go for heal.
And if you are really behind the DD on the ~6th place,
you should try to otimize you playstyle.
