The problem I see is that a good 30% of the MMO population will come into a new game and say, "what's the best healer class in this game?" and then proceed to pick that class. I personally like your idea but I think we'll need to make it draw in those, "I always play a healer" types. I think you can do it with your balance idea, make "healers" become "blockers" that help negate negative effects to their team members balance or shields.
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
