Just because it's "stressful" when you're worrying about completely imaginary instances of damage that aren't happening doesn't mean it's fine for moderately experienced healers to be mashing one button for the vast majority of a Savage encounter.
You dont even need to know a fight most of the time, unless you go in savage and stuff (and even there, the healing is not what will kill you most of the time). I don't understand how people can say you have to balance healing and dpsing: an aoe happens, use any healing you want, even a gcd, who cares, one from both heals and everyone is full? then you have 30 seconds of nothing.

What do they do to have a hard time healing? Do they run 3 times the length of an aoe "just to be sure", do they wait 5 seconds after each of those "just in case"? just press your buttons and if something happen you just cancel and press the one you want: stay behind the boss, only move to be just out of the aoe, cast all the time and cancel if something is needed. Even if you only use GCDs and 0 ogcds, by following that, you can probably solo heal and do ok damage up to Extremes.
