    Would you suggest that the tank or dps make macros that say "Healer, please heal me, my health is low."

    ?

    Maybe healers should also make macros that say "Derp, please stop standing in the red shapes on the ground"

    You could make several macros:
    /p <1>, please stop standing in teh red shapes on teh groud"
    /p <2>, please stop standing in teh red shapes on teh groud"
    /p <3>, please stop standing in teh red shapes on teh groud"

    This comes across as sounding very harsh, but I completely agree.

    I wouldn't want anyone messaging me nonstop telling me to do my job. So I expect them to do theirs w/o constant reminders during combat as well. If there's an issue, correct it in between fights. There's plenty going on during combat in the high level stuff for healers to have to worry about people spamming chat. If I have to take the time to read chat to be reminded to heal...that brief time may have taken away from me actually watching your health bar and casting cure before it's too late.

    I'm not suggesting messaging nonstop or spamming chat telling people to do their job, just communicating with my team to help if/when there is a lot going on. Personally, I think that we're less likely to wipe that way. If the tank is having difficulty holding hate or is rushing into too many mobs to handle then that can be sorted between fights, of course.

    If there's a lot going on I doubt people are going to be watching and reading the chat window. And chances are, if communication is needed, then it is a difficult encounter and there won't be time to read the chat window even if you wanted to communicate that way. Hence voicechat.

    I've actually done something very similar to that in other games. Some PuG players are really bad, and in cases where letting them die (my preferred solution) isn't an option, harassing them sometimes works.
