Most classes find themselves healing differently if they are assigned to tank healing than if they were put on raid healing duty. There are several reasons for this, one is obviously mana management while another is healing output and efficiency. Once again this post will focus mostly on a 10 man scenario where it’s beneficial to know how to heal both the tanks and the raid, however, each section will touch upon the healing rotations you might favour in 25 man where the healing assignments are stricter.
This is meant to help understand how your co-healer works, as well as help those new to healing to get a basic understanding how their class works in regards to tank and raid healing. The abilities most commonly used by each classes have been explained in the introduction to each class, so you can use those as a reference point should you need it: discipline priest, holy priest, restoration druid, restoration shaman and holy paladin.

- A beam of light flashes through the party trying to save as much as possible before all is lost…
Introduction
You are likely to see two different ways of healing as a shaman. One will spam Chain Heal so much it looks like they have few other abilities, while the other will stick more with single target healing such as Lesser Healing Wave. This is merely intended as a brief introduction to the world of restoration shamans.

- HoTs, baby! Yeah!
Introduction
A druid is particularly famous for both being in tree form and for having a wide range of heal over time spells (HoTs) to choose from. There are a few different types of PvE trees where the main ones are the 25 man raid healer, the 25 man tank healer or the 10 man healer. These often value different types of tactics and sometimes also slightly different stats on gear. This is going to be a quick introduction to tree healing for those not familiar with it.

- Absorbing damage is a unique and important part of discipline healing.

This is only going to scrape the surface of discipline priest healing so those who are not too familiar with this way of healing can use this as a point of reference for the remaining parts of the healing series.
