I usually volunteer to keep the chain going because i will keep the tank alive until the main healing mages are ready. This usually does not apply to higher lvls which in case i hope the mages are in the know for what they need to do. But Curing applies to all mages.
Yeah, I used to do that from time to time - volunteer to main heal a battle while the whm got mp. It's a nice thing to do. I wouldn't hold it against another Blm that didn't, though. Taking on main healer role is above and beyond the call of duty. I did so because I wanted to stand out as a Blm. I've never come across another Blm that did much curing. As a Whm, I was lucky to even get a cure if I was red. I've gotten more post death apologies from Blms that didn't help me, than cures from Blms that saved my life. I'd recommend helping on the cures to any Blm who wants to stand out above the crowd.

However, I wouldn't recommend Blms taking invites to be the main healer. It seems to be a rising trend. People are beginning to realize that Blm/Whm and Smn/Whm have about the same curing potential. After all, you have skill caps to maintain. Elemental, Dark and Enfeebling magic won't cap if you don't cast them. The day that Blm becomes "The White Mage that can Magic Burst", as someone once so eloquently phrased it, is the day I stop partying as one.
