Basic Principles for WHM - What and what not to do.

Thanks for the test.

And Regen is worse for Enmity generation which is why you'd only want it ticking on one target. I don't play a tank so I don't know what the general opinion is other than "Inappropriate Heal bombs = bad Healer"

Because of the fact Regen is a HoT, it's enmity generation is a progressive staircase upwards and not an immediate burst of enmity thus making it easier to manage for a tank. Good tanks will know how to snap aggro past the threshold and a tank's natural combat rotation should over come any ticking HoTs on any one/two/three targets.

That being said, enmity control is a responsibility of everyone. Tanks need to be aware when they have to make use of snap aggro to get hate and non-tanks need to realize at which instances they may get hate and choose their skills/spells appropriately.

Also, I disagree with the comment about only having Regen on one target at a time. Good tanks will always have a fairly strong enmity lead on the healer unless the healer (WHM specifically) is intentionally playing poorly by spamming Medica / Medica II / Cure III. If you have a poor tank, you'll know immediately and thus your job as a healer has just gone up the difficulty curve immensely.
