No, from the start, Raven's not very well-difined powers included empathy, the physical manifestation of her soul-self, which could envolve her enemies and assault them physically and psychiclly, casting of illusions, and the absorption of other people's injuries, which she then manifested and healed on her own body. She had more or less those same powers untill the original Titans Hunt. I'm not quite sure when that changed. I haven't seen her using her healing powers in quite a while, and her own dark soul now seems to work more like dark force magic, as in the cartoons. I admitedlly haven't kept up with all her appearences, and have stopped regularly reading Titans in the last few years.
Peace
If I recall correctly Raven hasn't had those powers since she came back from the dead in the Johns run. Her abilities were made to align more with her cartoon self there. But yes, she did have healing powers in the her original appearances, though I don't think she ever healed something as major as this. Still, she's ostensibly stronger now than she was then because she hasn't nearly given up the goose to Trigon in a significantly long time, so in theory I imagine that she COULD do it.

Ask Frontier about Fraction's Hawkeye run, or Aaron's Thor, and see if you still think he doesn't mind anything.
He's just not as obviously rude as the rest of us in declaring his disinterest and dissatisfaction. Burden of being a mod, I suppose; thank the gods I'm not so I can bitch as much as I want to!
"We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."

I like the little moment Cyborg got today I’m just going to say it.

So uh I’ve noticed something about Dark Crisis so far from Death of the Justice League to today….no one’s actually died in this story.
Think about it, the Justice League are only believed dead whereas really they are in an alternate dimension to power whatever Pariah is doing. The only one who should really be dead, Green Arrow, is apparently alive in one of them too after getting smacked by Doomsday.
As for the Titans, Deathstroke via Pariah’s orders is deliberately not killing people, Changeling/Beast Boy got shot in the head but is alive somehow, and they didn’t even say if Chupacabra bit the big one with a bomb on him because as someone pointed out to me Nightwing apparently got it off him in time.
Instead heroes have actually come back if we look at the Green Lantern Corps, not to mention the JSA next issue, and a whole new character in Red Canary.
So yeah no one’s actually died as far as I can tell.
