That's the more noobish thing it could possibly be said about damage/healing done.
Ok, maybe dps-ers with CC don't have to fall too much in the ladder cuz of the time "lost" on CCs, but damage output need to be considered togheter with the class max possible dps. I mean, i am shadowpriest and i usually do great in 5 man teams (usually 2nd in damage), but i presume in 10/25 man raid shadowpriest dps is not going to be one of the best in standard fights (with multiple non-aoeable mobs i think we can do great btw).
Also i would like to let u notice that if any "backup healer" switch to dps to healing mode on just a boss he will surely lose A LOT of positions in the DPS' ladder.

The worst part of ur sentence is the one concerning the healing done... i've raided up to AQ40 pre tbc, always as healing priest. Most of the time i was on top of the healing meter, but that did not mean anything. Considering hots canceling each other, overheal, main targets (if u r not random healing), etc. healing meter is totaly worthless (except for really evident slackers... but if u r not random healing than u'll spot them anyway cuz their targets will die really often if no one helps.
Considering an "healing ladder" to find who's good and who's not will only lead to wasting mana.

P.S.
There will always be a "last in damage/healing" cuz the number of dps-ers/healers is finite. Last don't need to be equal to slacker.
