Yeah it takes a while to get used to, but IMHO it's worth it to learn to go F3 then flash heal # as opposed to the other way around. It's not that hard of a habit to break, and you won't notice the difference - my normal "someone needs a heal" routine is f3, 1, tab. End result is the same, and I can take advantage of overheal protection.
Of course, I'm zealous in terms of mana efficiency and taking as much advantage of the 5 second mana regen rule as I can, so I wait as long as I can to burst heal. (I normally don't need to drink at all in UBRS *grin*) So normally the overheal protection *does* kick in, as some druid gets antsy and heals the target. I don't mind though, even though it normally gets me called a "noob healer". Meh. I know when I need to heal and when I don't.
Also, saw some discussion of greater heal earlier on in the thread - in UBRS, I wouldn't use it. Or the druid version of it (think it's healing touch?). I know it's crazy more mana efficient, but it's just too scary for the other healers to see a warrior go down to 30-40% life then back up to 80% over and over. At the end of the day, fast heals reign supreme unfortunately.
