A quick tip for healers:

use the smallest heal that's able to get the job done. Know how much each of your different heals is capable of, and don't over heal. Extra healing is just wasted, and adds to your aggro. For example, save your big, long cast heals for the tank. A simple flash heal or HoT should be sufficient for clothies. Something in the middle is likely needed for melee dps. Also, if a boss has a particularly hard-hitting attack, be prepared for it. If a tank gets really low on health, use your HoT, then a quick-cast heal, then a really big heal. This is guaranteed to keep your tank up longer. Remember...if the tank dies, 99% of the time, so does everyone else. Lastly, avoid using any sort of AoE heal unless it's absolutely necessary, as these draw enormous amounts of aggro.
