Am I doing something wrong with healing dungeons?

If they are taking a lot of spike damage it's one of two things: either their gear is really really bad, or they're getting hit in the back. When I see a tank continuously turning their back to groups of mobs I'll politely ask them to position mobs in front of them. It reduces damage considerably. Damage mitigation based on percents is meaningless in low level dungeons and practically meaningless in level 50 dungeons. To me a good war was very easy to heal through content like AK. (before 2.1) If they were getting hit in the back though, well forget it. Paladin I could somewhat manage despite bad tanking but a WAR tank would drop like a rock.

Or you were in cleric stance.

I appreciate all the info, it makes me feel much better to know that healing MAR/WAR will get easier. And yes, the first thing I checked was if Cleric Stance was off lol. I like healing so far, the instant queue is fantastic. I don't have Repose yet, but I am a HUGE fan of CC (was a WoW player for several years} and it hurts my face to see people not using it, or ridiculing it, or worst of all, ignoring it ; ; but its an adventure, right? I plan on taking up GLA next, I want to be as well rounded as I can, its just good sense in any MMO.

Make a macro that says "Sleep is my #1 heal. Please don't break sleep targets." Once you get into late 30/40s dungeons, you will be using it almost as much as you might in Haukke. It's super helpful. Anytime I see WHM not using sleep on my bard, I teach them about it. Good luck!
