How do you handle Healing

[keth]

I have a click button bar that sets focus to each team member for the healers.

Then I have rotations set up in isboxer for each character and spec that advances through the main hotbar 1-7 keys right now. Some need more buttons, different delays for channelling, etc. They are all tied to the same single key for spamming. Think Ualaa had posted a guide how to do this.

I've been too lazy to make it nicer so for now I just turn off or on the proper spec hotkey in isboxer when I switch specs, which isn't that often, and some classes the same rotation works for several specs. At some point I'll make it all nice with buttons or hotkeys.

Then, I have hotkeys that are "AE DPS", "Single target dps", Healers On/off, etc. These just swap the main hotkey bar on the proper toons. "Healers off" simply goes to a blank bar for them to regen mana. When they're on, it's just spam heals tied to my single button, which is probably not as efficient as possible but works for me so far and haven't really had mana problems.

I have either warden hot rotation stack, or the biggest single heal on the bars, depending on spec. As needed, I just swap in some macros for cures, nukes, onto the bar, or fill it with heals. Then I have buttons 8-10 set up as emergency and ae heals, which I can mash individually as needed. Again a bit lazy of a setup but works so far.

My team is 2 rog, 2 cler, 1 war and I usually run 1 cleric as a dps build shaman/justicar which gives a lot of efficient passive heals, good group heal, as well as nice dps. One rog is usually bard and I flip it to heal spam or dps spam as needed. One cleric is pure heals, usually purifier. Surging flames is amazingly good for this setup, I rarely have to bother changing heal targets.

Only things I have issues with this team, are the ranged fights, as I've had trouble making one of the clerics do decent ranged dps without giving up too much healing, though I think it can be done with some work.I think if I was to redo things I'd have put a mage in for chloro awesomeness or better ranged dps as needed, maybe even instead of the warrior. I'm liking the rogue tank for the insta-mobility and ae summons. I know cab gets this too but I've not gotten a good setup for cabs going.

edit: seems they are adding ae summon to a warrior soul and fixing rog dps so with that i'll go back to war tank and rog dps.
