you can choose to be an evil jedi or a good sith. its all in the way you go through your story line and if you even pay attention to it.

My thoughts exactly, as a healer i am fully aware that i am the "support" i need to make sure that the other people on my team stay alive to capture the objective and to guard me. My goal is never to keep myself alive for as long as possible but to keep my team alive. The only situation where i feel useless and get a little annoyed is when i am TRYING to heal them but they dont bother help me and therefore i get focused down and die and really have made next to no contribution to the team. So yea, i am glad to see another healer with the same outlook.

i would agree but ive been in matches where i will be healing my *** off and some bad sorc healer will get his 300k medal long before i would. I have watched sorc healers outdo my heals in situations where i have died once compared to their 7 or 8 and still have them beat me in heals. i dont have a level 50 sorc/sage but from a mercs point of view, i dont know what they are complaining about. it actually takes effort for me to get my 300k medal and never once have i gotten the 5k single heal or hit 400k healing nomatter how hard i try. and if this is due to my gear (i am just now getting to be full bm) then i will retract my statement and apologize to all sorcs im ************ about but the way it looks now, i am leveling a sorc healer 2 use in rated warzones because i dont think merc healers will be able to stand against them.

i feel as if even when i am utilizing all of my "tools," I, as a healer, cannot for the life of me win against any dps when it is 1v1 ( i am a merc healer). the amount of heat that is generated when i use both my dmg and heals added to the fact that my dmg compared to theirs is equivalent to a baby punching a giant makes it impossible to be the victor unless im going against an idiot who uses zero interrupts or stuns. Also i have a sorc (lvl 11) and an operative (lvl 20) who both Already have more stuns/cc's than my lvl 50 merc so idk if the problem is that the healers canot heal enough at a time or that our resources are running out too fast due to overly expensive heal (i reallly dont think this is the problem) OR the dps and even tank are just too powerful when complared to a healer.... whichever it is its really taking the fun out of being a merc. but to be honest my operative does just fine in the pre 50 wzs i can stun/interupt/heal my through most attacks while running towards someone who can save me. Pretty much in the hour long post i am saying that i agree with your premise but your conclusion that just utilizing my stuns/cds and (yes, i do use everything i have) will make it so us healers have a chance against a non horribad dps is incorrect.
