I just leveled a Gunbreaker to 80 and now I'm leveling a Paladin (at 51), and I'm not experiencing the same issues you are. Since my main is a White Mage, I've been offering advice to healers I see in dungeons who are doing weird things. Usually there's silence or some discussion but it's never toxic and I've never seen a kick initiated. Either you're getting into some really bad groups of former WoW players or perhaps the way you're trying to give advice is coming across as adversarial?
One WHM in a Stone Vigil run was using Cure 3 constantly to heal me as I was tanking. I let him know that Cure 3 is only for big group heals and he should be using Cure 2 and Medica 2 before Cure 3. They didn't respond until the end of the dungeon and just said "sorry, couldn't type but I'm learning". That's pretty typical for FFXIV if you ask me, and the vast majority of people in this game are quite nice about suggestions or learning from mistakes.
