and you can, just not during the same action :)
As to healing, I beg to differ that it's essential to master it. But a reasonably high level (depending on the content being played, obviously) is certainly very handy (150+ when playing "endgame" groups is the least you need to make an effect, 100+ very handy at all times to quickly rez a fallen comrade).
caveat: my healing's been stuck at around 210 for the last 2 years :)
