Tips for new (and some not-so-new) healers

[Airal]

Thanks for the tips. I am always looking at improving myself as a healer and player in general.
Can you please elaborate more on this comment?
Did you perhaps mean Sacred Soil 3 times per minute and avoid Lustrate unless you expect 1 massive hit?

He seems to be advocating the exact opposite, actually. (Also, you can't possibly use Sacred Soil 3 times per minute since it's on a 30 second cooldown. :P)

I find Lustrate to be a very good controlled heal, but I also wouldn't advocate overusing it. To be fair, you should be using all 3 stacks of Aetherflow by the time the 1 minute cooldown is up, but I would definitely recommend keeping at least 1 stack for a minor emergency. Sometimes your tank just takes a crit that's unexpected and Lustrate will go a mile to save them where Physick is just slightly too slow.

Another point I'd like to make regarding the DPS capabilities is to work with the other healer to figure out a pattern for Cleric Stance if your situation allows for it. I've almost always preferred healing with a person of the other healing class because their unique DPS capabilities work well together. If the SCH uses Cleric Stance to apply DoTs (while still having access to a full powered Lustrate in the process) and then turns off Cleric Stance, it opens up the WHM to use Cleric Stance "safely". Communication and knowing your capabilities within the fight are incredibly key to making an impact beyond "good heals".
