There is something I've been thinking about since the advent of mods such as Whispercast, where if you send a particular whisper to a Paladin with the mod installed, it will put a blessing in the queue and all the pally has to do is click the queue to cast blessings on whomever has requested them.
Taking that a step further, it seems to me that anyone clever with WoW scripting could set up a similar system with a priest. Dual-boxing gold farmers could set it up so that the priest would auto-cast a flash heal spell on the hunter when the hunter whispers "heal plz", or a renew when the hunter whispers "renew plz", etc. Set the priest to follow the hunter, and not only do you have twice the inventory space, but you have a literal heal-bot following you around.
That could be one reason you see hunter-priest duos in popular gold-farming spots.
