Me: *stares at the hp of the tank because we don't want to overheal*
Arcanist: Don't worry, I WILL HEAL!! *starts spamming cure attracting all the hate*

I had something similar just last night, only it was the healer who was being twat.
I was tanking Fractal. Near the end of the first mob the the Healer's Hp bar grey's out. No more heals. They disappeared. it was kinda strange and made me think they DC'd for a minute, but the mob was almost dead so it was no big deal. We move on, and we find the healer sitting patiently before the second set of Mobs. She has to heal me before the fight even starts because she ran off ahead of us. It's a bit unorthadox, but I can dig it.... only she choses to heal me with Regen.

She instantly pulls mob enmity as soon as I hit the first Mob, and I have to backtrack and waste a bit of Mp using an extra unleash or 2 to get enmity back (which was a pain because the healer was running away from me instead of to me). Positioning is a bit off and my Mp bar is wounded, but I get it sorted out. Healer disappears again. I'm seeing a trend. We kill the mob and follow her, and she casts regen on me to make up the Hp she wasn't there to heal. I don't want a repeat of the last pull, so I turn off Regen before I pull.... and she puts it back on just as I do the pull. She steal enmity right off the bat, again.

Next pull she does the same thing. I turn off Regen. She puts it back on. I turn it off, again and pull as fast as I can before she can reapply it, which she does as soon as she can. I'm about to tell her to knock it off, when she goes into the chat and says: "Stop turning my regens off! You're wasting my Mp." I look at her Mp bar. It's full. I look at mine. It's nearly empty because I had to chase mobs around while using Unleash to try and get aggro back from the mobs she insta-steals by keeping Regen up at the start of each pull.

it's refreshing to see healers (especially new-ish ones) who have a better understanding of how enmity works than lvl 60 players who do crap like this.

I have to admit it's quite often a noob's error, not all whm realize regen is a 'please chase me instead of the tank' kind of spell.

I can't remember which duty I was in recently, but the WHM cast regen on our tank at the end of a pull. He clicked it off. She cast Medica II on the group to prep for the next pull... I laughed.
