So You Wanna Raid...

That's because the priest job is easy. Heal the main tank, keep an eye on any additional tanks that are in your group. We don't have strict healer rotations, but if you see a healer holler that they're out of mana, keep a closer eye on their group and the main tank. If you're a dwarven priest, fear ward the main tank in Onyxia and for Mags. If there's mind control around, dispell it. If not all groups have a priest, we'll ask for volunteers as to who wants to fort buff the groups without priests. There's usually a reminder before bosses that deal out heavy shadow damage to put up shadow ward.

There are no real tricks for healers to do. It's pretty much common sense. Don't play like a monkey. Don't burn through all your mana in the first 30 seconds of a fight and expect to get an innervate from the druids. In places with AoE fear, stay out of fear range. Don't get aggro, don't get hurt. ;) Really, the "raiding is boring" part is absolutely completely true for priests. There aren't even many brief moments of excitement. Or maybe that's just me. ;)
