You hit 6 (or whatever key your heal spell is on) and then click the portrait of whoever, including yourself, that you want to heal. You never lose your combat target this way. And don't target the party pets - hit the 'v' key (with Enable Pet Nameplate checked in the Interface Options) and heal the same way as with the portraits, but use the green pet bar instead. I still don't ever lose my combat target this way. I guess I just don't understand what is so special about the self-cast mods out there. I've never felt a need for them.

I see--I think I'm hardwired to have something targeted _before_ casting a spell, so this didn't even occur to me :blush: Now I have to think about if this habit is hurting me somehow in other places.
I guess the benefit, then, is not needing to click anything at all to self cast.
With respect to using 'v' for pet targeting, I've tried that, but it still requires that I have the pet in my field of view. As a secondary tank/secondary healer that still is not so convenient (although better than having to target the pet for sure).
