It's amazing how rare it is to get complimented on your "l337 h34lin6 skillZ". :P I'm lucky enough to be on a really friendly server with lots of good people, but usually the best you get is a perfunctory "thanks for the heals" at the end of the instance. And even that's rare. :D I'm not asking for people to lavish praise on me, but it gives a great sense of satisfaction and general group-huggableness when someone compliments your healing after a tough fight.
After I installed the Scrolling Combat Text mod that shows damage & healing numbers streaming above your character's head, I really started noticing good heals. As a tank my attention is usually totally occupied trying to hold aggro, so I wouldn't always notice when heals landed on me. Now, when a giant "2300" crit heal floats above my head I know someone just saved my bacon! And since I notice it more the kudos come out more too. Healers tend to be totally shocked when I rave about their nice crit heal while the hunters are raving about their aimed shot crits :)
