Is there any need for healers?

Hi.

I've played a DPS character on this server for some time which is fine, but I have started wondering if I should start a class that could become a healer, because I've never played the healing role before.

Then I was just wondering if there is any reason to start a healer on this server since the population have fallen so much? Is it only fun to play healer on this server when you get lvl 80?

How much has the population fallen in last 3-6 months ?

There is def a need for healers. I run a prot/ret paladin, and while I always can find a group as tank, there is an equal demand for healers imo. Especially on lower levels, since most classes can tank/dps better than dps/heal when levelling.
