For the healer:

If you get aggro, run towards the tank not away from him. Right on top of the tank is actually a pretty good place for the healer to stand during most fights. This is sort of counter-intuitive and I wish I had learned it earlier.

Watch out for area of effect spells from the mobs. If fire or ice is raining down on your, or a pit of doom seems to be opening under your feet, move quickly.

Get the Healbot addon. It will make healing easier so you can maintain situational awareness (and get out of the fire).

Get Decursive. It makes curing curse, poisons, and so forth a lot easier.

You can start casting heals on the tank and then interrupt them by jumping if they turn out not to be needed.

It's sometimes necessary to let the DPS die so you can save the tank or yourself.
