Is it possible to offend someone...with a macro?

How can you be come a bad healer when you are using swiftcast and rez while the other healer is wasting precious time using just the rez skill. I would prefer that healer with the CD swiftcast to heal/buff/debuff the other players or dps instead of waiting to rez someone. If you don't have swiftcast ready, don't waste time rezing someone. That is being a bad healer. The only time that could be tolerable to do so is when you are in a low level dungeon and even then you could be dpsing. You would do good dps while you wait for your swiftcast to be ready.

I have been in many dungeons where healers killed their tanks or themselves because they are using just resurrection without swiftcast and they get hit by the boss/mob AOE, fall off from a platform, or get pushed to the walls, etc (raids, ex primals, regular dungeons). the other healer won't even wait for you- general speaking- to be halfway rezing someone. The other healer would have rez the dead player as soon as they saw you with a casting bar.

Most of the time, it really doesn't matter that's why. Assuming this isn't something like Savage or Extreme modes, you generally don't have too much to worry about in spending the time to cast. Obviously this means the healer should be aware of when something dire is coming, or that they have priorities (healing MT). If it's just a downtime moment (i.e. DPS period), then there's really no harm. The paltry amount of DPS you'd add in 10sec isn't exactly game breaking for the content someone would bother full casting a rez in. If really feel otherwise on 10sec of healer DPS making and breaking a group entirely for the average player, I don't know how credible your view really is. It'd probably on-par with the typical mouthbreather complaining a dungeon took 5sec longer than their last one.

Imagine the scenario:
There are 2 or more dead people. Dead person A and Dead Person B (and maybe even C and D)
Healer 1 is in the middle of casting raise on dead person A.
Healer 1 uses a raise macro that says "Raise A"
Healer 2 ignores this macro or sees this macro and doesn't care. Healer 2 uses their Swiftcast to raise Person A.
Healer 1 has to now cancel their Raise cast.
Now, healer 1 or 2 needs to cast raise again, from the beginning, to raise Dead Person B.

Healer 1 wasted time casting Raise on Dead Person A because Healer 2 didn't care about checking who they were raising.
If healer 2 had cared about it, both Dead People could be back up and fighting for longer. It also means that healer 1 wouldn't have to cast raise twice, meaning more group healing.

So if healer 2 sees healer 1 is using a macro when casting raise, but healer 2 decides they don't care and uses their Swiftcast and Raise on the same person that healer 1 is already casting Raise on, then healer 2 is absolutely a bad healer. Not only that, but a poor team player.
