Experiencing new WHM paranoia. Halp!

You learn very quickly to gauge your own skill level simply by results. Did anyone die? Was there anything you could have done to prevent that death? Did the situation ever become hectic for you and were you able to handle it well?

Sometimes I forget silly things during my runs, but I always try to take time afterwards to remember my mistakes or things I'd forgotten to do or capitalize on, and try to make sure I do it in future runs, even if I don't need to, just to get accustomed to doing things where they feel natural in critical situations.

What you have to remember though is that, unlike damage dealing and even tanking, Healers have no set rotations or even ideal rotations. Our performance relies heavily on the performance of our teammates, and so our biggest measure of personal skill is our ability to adapt to unusual situations. It also means that sometimes, if enough of your allies perform poorly, or if critical allies perform poorly, it may be impossible for you to save it, and that's okay. A lot of healers get discouraged when they get criticism about their abilities, and sometimes it's not even their faults. The best thing you can do for yourself is learn to take criticism well, but also to not let it discourage you.
