    I have been healing through most of my gaming career so these are my observations of good things a healer needs to know how to do:

    Basic
    -Triage:Fairly basic but always good to reinforce. This has two ideas, the order of importance of who to keep alive, possibly with focus on edge cases such as keeping a focused interrupter alive and the idea that some people can't be saved and to not waste mana on them.
    -Job Specific Mechanics:Astro cards and scholar aether, not sure what white mage would have.
    -Stairs of Evil: Stairs will block LoS with the tanks at the oddest of times.

    Moderate
    -Move and Cast: Each healer has different tools to do this though even just the idea of getting the rhythm down of cast-move-cast-move can be really useful.
    -Advanced Job Combos: Astro royal road combo and advanced faery control for the scholar
    -Advantageous Use of Healer Agro: You are a healer, you generate global agro, when new things spawn they are going to you. A healer must learn how to handle this and even turn it to their advantage. Also, LoS is your friend.

    Advanced
    -Your (Healer) Health is a Resource: This is something I see take a long time for a healer to get a feel for. As long as your HP isn't 0, you are fine in most fights. Learning when to actually stand in an AoE and take it yourself to save someone else.
