clerics and mages have been stereotyped as defensive and offensive magic users, thus the image associated with them. even i prescribe partly to this view since i (subconsiously, perhaps) use my mage to harm and my cleric to heal/protect/stave off attacks.
The very spells each class receives reinforces that point of view I suppose.

Horses for courses I guess, but I find on-hand healing a nice treat to have (if not a life saver often enough). Also, don't you find it a little difficult to stomach the "You've rested for x days." lines that you get? It might be realistic in a sense, but I feel that I have a self-imposed time limit I must keep to - otherwise the bad guys will have run away by the time I get back!
