Note: Despite this is a rough source, the fundamentals of the professions are clearly noted.
Quote: "Damage healing abilities of the Doctor are specialized"
Point: Doctor is not a Hybrid profession. It's Healing, and Healing.
Point 2: Get your facts straight.
What does battle armor have to do with healing?Preservation of the Healer's life, which in turn allows them to continue healing others.
Or rezzing?Giving life.
Or buffing?Sustaining life.
Or defense skillmods? Preservation of the Healer's life, which in turn allows them to continue healing others.
Healing is less than half of what a doctor can do, and that's what makes you a hybrid.
What does Force Sap have to do with healing or sustaining life? Nothing. It is the taking away of the life of others.
Healeris not a purely healing profession. Doctor is.

If everyone defines their own terms, the terms "hybrid" and "elite" are meaningless. It made sense to me -- for the context of SWG -- that it might be best to use SOE's definitions as a basis. See:
http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/manual_detail.jsp?id=56845
From that link, it clearly lists doctors as an "elite" profession, and combat medics as a "hybrid" profession.
The page is somewhat dated, but I don't see any compelling argument that the CU changed professions from one type to another (or not). It appeared to me that SOE defines a hybrid as a profession requiring two or more different novice boxes to complete, and an elite profession as requiring only one.

We should probably begin by developing criteria and a definition for Hybrid Profession. Have at it.

In my opinion a doctor is and should be a PURE healer.
