Thanks for your comments Darcla. I'm just the healer for the team, Kicksome, a regular poster on these forums, is quad-boxing the shamans.

Regarding HOJ though, that gives me two options. Keeping it for the late game, or burning it early. Either way, I might have to expose myself in order to get within HOJ range of the healer. I could see this working out in different ways.

One example comes to mind -->The rush, usually by confident players with better gear:
Usually a warrior comes rushing in, followed by a lock and rogue, sometimes with a shadow priest with pain suppression turned on. The druid or pally healer is almost always way in the back pre-loading the heals on the warrior. I could HOJ him, but I'd have to cast Blessing of Freedom on myself, run up to him, HOJ him and hope that gives the 4 shamans enough time to make a kill. I'd be vulnerable at that point, and might or might not have to bubble/trinket out of a fear/CC/mana drain being out of totem range. Would this type of strat be too risky, or would the risk be worth the reward?

What comes nexto mind it he the more conservative approach. Kicksome would call out for a HOJ, obviously hoping I would be A) in range of the healer and B) not-CC'd and actually able to cast the HOJ.

So far, the only games where I've been able to really make a difference with their healer by HOJ'ing were games we pretty much had already wrapped up in the first 30 seconds of play by dropping two of their guys. At that point, it's just an endurance match against their pally or lock.
