Cue Kef returning to this thread with "forces do best by supporting, LOL". 
Maybe Kef enjoys mashing the resta button with his FOney, but I personally don't. When I FO, my first priority is S/D, and J/Z where appropriate. After that, the FO is free to do damage however they like, IMO... techs, meleeing, mech usage, whatever. With a FO you have more of a license to use otherwise-cheap weapons because your stats suck, as I already mentioned. As for Resta, I do believe it is necessary for the FO to make a good faith effort to keep his eye on the health bars of the rest of the party, to heal when necessary, and to make Resta his/her primary duty in certain rooms (such as EN/PW battle-rooms). But you can't expect the best case scenario every time, and it's not going to kill you to use a trimate if you've wandered out of the FO's Resta range and landed yourself in trouble (or if you're berserking).
