Love the idea of the assist heal.... purely for those moments when I want to heal someone else. I've been making do with my chain heal - my main would heal someone, the others would chain heal themselves, very inefficient.

I know what you mean about feeling extremely squishy.... Those pesky Arms warrior getting in amongst me and bladestorming. Ouch. Reminds me - must get glyph of stoneclaw on all the shaman.
