Epic Healer Stories

Not really a time limit thing, but I did save the raid once.

Turn 4, first group. It was double Scholar and the second Scholar somehow kept dying on every P6 drop. The group eventually disbanded, as the tank would also lose aggro at the same time.
Second group was much better, but White Mage had a habit of dropping dead as well on P6 drop. I can only assume they forgot to stop healing during drops. (My strategy is to E4E OT, and Supervirus MTs dread.) Group is about to disband. "last run guys" We reach P5, positioning goes perfect, P6 drops, and White Mage dies almost immediately. Instantly think "Well the wipe is coming now" but I decide to try keeping everyone alive anyway. I suddenly realize that both tanks are topped off with Galvanize up. I had been solo-healing for about 30 seconds, and managed to keep both tanks up in the hardest phase. Swifcast comes off cooldown at this point, so I pop it and res the WHM. We end up beating the turn before Enraged timer.

Stuff

I've got a similar story, but it was for turn 1 on Cadaceus after the split. Nothing like those times when you know you shouldn't have been able to solo heal that, but due to good tanks or luck (Or, dare I say it, our own skill) we pull it together and save the day.

A Warrior's lifeless body was on the edge of the platform in Titan Ex. With Titan's Geocrush looming, it was almost for certain that the warrior's body would regrettably fall to his doom at the bottom of the Lord of Crags' eternal abyss. As the Warrior's body was falling midair, I Swiftcast-Raise him. Before succumbing to his demise at the bottom, the Warrior's inner beast accepts the Raise and returns to the platform to do battle once more!
