Everybody should be aware that even peaceful herbies are turning agro towards those who heal their attacker. So I fail to see the point that healers of agroed players should not be considered attackers, too, regardless of team affiliation.
Beneath that, I doubt the wisdom of this patch for a different reason. It is not wise to answer abuse with technical measures. When people are bragging here that they have broken the rules before and intend continuing to do so, that points not to a lack of technical brilliance of the devs but to a lack of effective policing of abusers.
This is not only the case with harassment like agro dragging but also, if not more, with abuse like cheating and botting which seems to be thriving at the moment. The usual punishments, a warning, or a week of ban etc. are ridiculed by the abusers.
I would favor effective punishment such as revocation of skill levels, destruction of gear, emptying of inventories, meks, apts, and guildhalls depending on the severity of abuse and the number of repetitions.
