Some help for a noob

I've healed both though - Protection warriors are by far the easier to heal.

I've also healed both and never noticed a difference. The only damage reduction talents are 5% block (woo, I block 80 damage per swing 5% more of the time), 10% more armor (adds up to nothing thanks to diminishing returns) and +10 defense. Post +defense gear nerf patch that means a bit more but I can't say I would notice if the Warrior had or not. I've only healed ZG and about half of MC so I suppose the differences become apparent later on.

and HSing? You stay the hell off the HS button if you're not MT.

Mmhmm. Unless you're trying to stay 2nd(ish) on the aggro chart to cover if the MT goes down. But if the MT goes down, the problems tend to run much deeper than grabbing aggro :)
