Yes, after all Triage Beacon is a heal power. The primary reason to have a Traps Defender on a team is so that they can spam that.
PS Traps rule.
Of course, what else would a Defender be?
Seriously, though. I'd probably expect some kind of Traps related concept.

yup, same as the above two, I'd suspect it's something to do with traps.
Also, Traps ftw.
Did you find it to be something else?
It could be one of those people who believe that "Heals" or "Healer" means anything buff/heal/non-debuff related terminology.
I hate those type of people.

You're a Defender for chrissake. It's the Healer AT.
Not only must you take Triage Beacon, you must put it on auto.
You must also take the whole Medicine pool. And put all those on auto.
And all three Leadership toggles. And put all those on auto.
And Recall Friend, slotted for range, so you can teleport fallen friends three miles away from combat before rezzing them.

I figure that, by giving my trapper a name that would notsosubtly allude to her primary, I could avoid all the "healer?" tells.
But no.
Although one guy /spammered me after I teased him over the healer thing. And I wasn't even LFT.
But I didn't have the heart to tell him that the only toon I've ever soloed an AV with is a (mostly) setless traps / thugs. My my most horrendously min/maxed toons with multi-billion inf builds can't.
Just had to vent

FF/, Cold/, Traps/, Trick Arrow/, Sonic/...none of those heal. My own Sonic/Sonic never needs to heal. They can be healers, but it's not required.

Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

Admittedly they benefit my pets as much as other players, but I skipped the fitness pool to squeeze that all in. The toon performs well on SFs, so I've invested in powers to keep everything moving smoothly and quickly.

Oh, you mean those healers that gimp themselves by skipping their heals?
I tell you, I see so many Force Field healers that skipped their heals, Sonic healers too. It makes me sad that people don't realize that a healer's job is to stand there and crank out as many green numbers as they can. They think they can skip their heal powers and call themselves a "defender", but I'm on to em! They're just trying to leech XP by putting all these useless bubbles around me and dropping toys all over the ground! And then they have the nerve to attack, like they can actually hurt anything!
Don't these people realize their only purpose in the game is to heal the tank?!

Most people aren't familiar with every power in every defender powerset, so I'm not surprised.
I'm a fan of joining the team, do my usual Defendery goodness and go "Oh wait... I was supposed to heal? Why didn't you say that specifically?"
It's usually that type of happening that turns "Need Heals" to "Need Support" and that's always a plus, though there's usually 2-4 steps between those.

I facepalm hard when I'm on a Controller, Defender, or Corruptor heavy team that has a Tanker/Brute and someone pipes in and demands a 'healer' (or worse, the leader)... when we're running generic newspaper/radio missions on a moderate difficulty.

Absolutely! I'm too smart to fall for such an easy trap as naming a traps defender Trappity. Obvious empath in disguise is obvious! /invitehealer

Then again, I dont pop my heal unless im hurt and I dont play "H34lz0r" for any team and refuse to be pinned into that roll.Besides, im commonly the person on the team Tanking anyhow!:P

When did this happen?!
I play Tankers alot, and can honestly say I dont ever need Heals or even Buffs on moderate difficuly missions.I find it insulting when im making a team and we have 5-6 people collected and someone chimes in that we need a healer.
I litterally send a response of "If you want a healer, find another team.I dont have time to baby sit another player that wont attack."
Surprisingly I havent had anyone leave team when I say something like that.
As for Naming your Character on there Primary/Secondary?Thats Fine with me.I use those as guides on who NOT to team with.Like Dr. Healsalot, or Fire Ice Guy, and names like Daisy Fire Kin.......No Spank YOU!

Does this mean you wouldn't team with my Storm/Dark Defender named Stormy Darkness? He's probably my best character!

Bwahaha -- I changed my search field to "1 R n0+ H3410r", and, all of a sudden, no more tells looking for healers.
Or confusion in teams such as, "Yay, got a healer! ... Oh, wait, I didn't. Team LF healer."
But I haven't had any real howlers like the time I was on a team with a scrapper. Who berated my bubbler (Big 3 + Maneuvers!) over not taking a rez. I told him to post his build to the scrapper forum. Since he was obviously mentally deficient with a spectacurlarly bad build.
