I frequently heal in BGs on my shaman. It's different than as a druid, although my original main was a druid and I healed with him, too.

I completely understand your frustration about getting left alone, tho, and not only in BGs with defensible nodes. Last night in Wintergrasp, I dropped totems and set up in front of the main gate during the initial furball of combat during the opening moments of the Alliance attack. I was one of three healers to support the attackers, and things went well for awhile. We lost one healer (the druid; his tree form made him an immediate target for the cannons), and the other followed a sallying force around to the west side, leaving me to support the 10 or so Alliance still duking it out. I racked up around 40 HKs just healing folks... before an orc DK dropped off one of the cannon ledges, ran right down the hill to me and just murdered me. I was throwing heals on myself like crazy, and trying to get nearer to our forces, but I was ignored, even by a couple Allies who were just jogging around, trying to find more Horde to kill. It didn't take long for the DK to finish me off.

No respect, I tellya...
