As a courtesy to healers, when I'm dpsing with my elemental shaman (or any class that can rez), I will rez people at the end of combat. I always have more mana than the healer, so generally I will rez and let the healer drink. Even if I don't have more mana, I care less if I'm oom than if the healer is.

Also, priority on rezzes for me is always: Healers > dps that can offheal/offtank > tank > dps that can buff > other nice dps > 0 > smartass annoyances we can continue without. The idea is to get the party up and going as quick as possible. Although if the tank is a DK, I will most likely rez them after dps because they have the greatest tendency to bandage and run ahead and don't provide buffs other than the horn.

As a self-rezzing class, I will announce my intention to do so. This is so it can be timed so I don't die instantly for whatever reason. Either the healer will have a moment to heal me or I will wait to have time to heal myself before jumping back into the thick of it. If it is a wipe, I may rez and rez others, but I will for sure drink before I start rezzing. Even if I can, I might save my cd and will run back with everyone else if we are close to the beginning or everyone released anyways.

Everyone almost always has more health and mana from running than any form of rezzing. The point is always to move forward quickly and if we're close enough to a GY that running back and buffing up is faster than rezzing and buffing up, then running should always be encouraged.
