Oh, that's interesting... I play on PS3. I heard that the PS3 version was hacked early on and players were getting free money - which broke the money system and caused prices to be what they are now. It sounds like the PC version is more in line with what the designers had in mind in regard to monetary values. It shouldn't make a difference, as long as you have enough money to buy what you need comfortably without having to worry if you can repair you gear in a raid - which is a real problem that some people have had. Anyway...

To answer your question - yes :)

My character is dual-role, healer-dps. I do about 50/50 damage and healing. Versatile but not great at either.

If I chose to be a great healer, I wouldn't do very much damage, which would make solo gaming pretty much impossible. Because I can heal, I find that doing so can really make the difference in raids and alerts - and I don't have to carry a ton of soders with me wherever I go. It works for me. (My main mods are "restoration and might.")

I carry a few pieces of armor that I swap out if I need to improve restoration or might and a separate full set of PVP armor, for when I am doing that. (The main difference is in Defense vs. Toughness - you cannot expect to be successful in PVP without the right armor, whatever your role!) It's a lot of stuff to carry around... About 1/3 of my inventory.

It sounds like you are playing a 'troller. If you decide to really specialize in that, you will be appreciated by the group you are playing with - but you will struggle in soloing until you get a higher CR. The choice is yours.
