1. Heroics are not hard, perhaps a little long.
2. Nothing is wrong with healing.
3. Trolls are the only “True Horde” left, good for you.
4. People that start playing now for the first time will be better than most wraith babies. They have no preconceptions.
5. Healing, it’s not that you suck @ healing, it’s the “Group” sucks @ working together. Healers are use to carrying bad groups, this is no longer possible. Just like dps you now need to be part of the team.
6. Just fyi, my experience is biggest in Holy priests and pallies(2005 to today). I have no experience with druid/shammy healing.
7. Alliance what? oh it’s on -_-

Remember when Ghostcrawler said, “Health pools will be much larger in Cataclysm and healing will be lower. That should help address some of the overly binary feel of PvP and PvE encounters. You’ll still be able to kill people as well as be able to heal them. The pace will just be a little slower and both healing and killing should require more than 1-2 buttons.” That sounds rather different than your “No margin for error” discussion.

I love tanking the heroics just hate the 2-3 hours it takes pugging it … provided you finish it. Have not healed one yet but look forward to it on my pally. Great podcast, thank you

One shots by bosses are important for the sole purpose that surviving the very obvious boss abilities is every players responsibility. Anything else will eventually fall on the healer to heal through.
