No, healers should not taunt, and yes, they should bubble when Chimaeron is about to attack you.

Why you should not *try* to die first: You'll last about half of a second, not really any time to give the DPS more time on him. He actually takes a little while to bring the tanks down if they were topped off going into it, so sitting there exorcism/HSing is more useful than dying right away.

Also, in heroic mode you want to be up to Aura Mastery the shadow AOE.

Why you would want to bubble when he's on to you: It extends the fight ever so slightly if you bubble right before he reaches you ,causing him to bounce to the next person on the aggro list. This can be very significant if you are right on the cusp of a kill but need a few more seconds of DOTs to bring him down. Sometimes those extra seconds make a different, so the longer you can stay alive, the better.
