should I change my secondary profession?

I have a warrior/elementalist with fire magic, sowrdsmanship, and tactics.

I was wondering if I should change his secondary profession to a monk and add healing magic.

I'm careless and die alot, so i was thinking healing magic could help me.

What do you guys think?

Depends on what you want to do with your war, really. For RP, a new healer henchmen comes in later in the game, so you might not have to worry about it too long.

Elementalist has some really neat buffs that work well when going through missions... Armor of Earth gives you ~50 additional armor for tanking, and if you have a fiery sword of any type, then you can use conjure flame to add some more damage to it

fire magic has some of the most energy heavy skills. I'd suggest earth for defense or water for snares.
