But he didn't even try to fight, just typed out "Let me die!" He did, then we rezzed him and took some revenge.
When you get in with the good groups, everyone knows when to die. ;)

As a fewllow Rogue, I must say I would have done the same thing. As such, I applaud him for his self-sacrifice, and you for being smart enough (and kind enough) to follow his orders.
If I want healing THAT bad, I'll scream for it. I only beg for healing if I truly think there's a chance at us coming out on top with me staying alive, and even then only when the healer is neglecting me in favor of someone else. Usually, all I want out of a healer is a "get-out-of-jail-free card" - that is to say, when I'm nearing death and can't quite pull out of it, but still have enough juice to finish the job, I want JUST enough healing to get me through. Rarely if ever do I want to be healed to full health, and I never break a sweat until my health drops below 50%, and never even start to worry until about 30%. Once I hit that 30% and under mark, though, I'd want healing, unless I was in a situation where my death is inevitible, regardless of healing.
Long post short: I'd rather die than have healing wasted on me, but I'd rather live because of a well-timed and needed heal than be showered with "wasted" (IMHO) heals. I know my limits, and if things truly get hairy and I flat-out don't want to die, I can always "Vanish". ;)
