This is a little bit weird. You would rather a healer let the tank get really low and then do Cure 2 instead of keeping the tank's HP topped up with Cure 1, Stoneskin and Regen? My Mind is so strong on my WHM that my Cure 1 always heals over 1000 HP, and with the soldiery left side favouring SCH I have to keep an eye on my MP.

Everything else in your post is good, but this one is just weird.

Being a good healer isn't always about who can heal the most HP.

Stoneskin. Also, what about the SCHs who don't know what Obey is on their fairy bar? Seeing the fairy heals before a battle is facepalm.

I just play as if the other healer doesn't exist. Any healing they may or may not do is bonus to me. This is the only thing that keeps me sane in 8 man trails/dungeons.

I agree with you as to what a healer should be doing as a priority and I may not have been clear enough with my description.

What I meant was the healer that doesn't do any of the things that you mentioned but just throws out the occasional heal and barely keeps the tank alive, and just sits there most of the time.
If a healer is able to do all of their duties, like the stuff you brought up and they still have some free time and mp then they can help DPS some. For example I personally like to toss out some insta-cast DoT's if I have a gap in needing to heal.

well, my main point is that it sucks to have a good healer works his/her arse-off to keep the group up while the unskilled healer doesn't do much at all, and at the end the unskilled healer got the loot and the good healer got nothing.

will be nice if there's a standard established that easily discriminates good healer and at least give them a shout out.

Amount of actions / time.
While doing no or little overhealing.

No overhealing is a pipe dream because even if you were a perfect robot who could shoot spells at the exact right moment a single crit would push you over the edge. Healing is too complex to be broken down into a singular simplistic thing you can measure and judge by.

It's not complex.
If you know your cure will replace 1/4 blue bar, then do that when 1/4 blue bar is down. Then make more red bars go down until you need to make that 1/4 blue bar go up again.

Yeah sure. All great healers just stare at the HP bars and cast cure 1 / 2 depending on how much of the bar has just went down. :D

In my static there's a perfect synergy between me and the other healer, with me being the scholar.

We don't even have to comunicate anymore, we just know how to play together, and it works greatly.

We even set up a dps heal order for T7 fireballs so that we wont be healing the same DPS, and if you see this video you can see how we both manage t9 healing (you can't see the lustrates and viruses cast by me due to being instant cast)

I completely ignore aoe healings during t9 unless I have some free time
