I know enough to admit that I don't know enough about the topic and so I find that I'm generally in the dark as to if overheals are actually really bad for aggro or not. Of course they are horrible for mana efficiency, but neglecting that; I find I'm confused about the whole deal.

The ideal way to test this would involve a paladin and any healing class.
The paladin goes into battle with the wonderful bubble of immunity up and full health The priest would heal the paladin and see if that pulled hate. If this pulls hate, then overhealing generates at least some agro. If nothing happens, overhealing is a myth.
What this won't prove is the amount of hate overhealing generates. Whether or not it's truly the great amount of hate our priests think cannot be proven without further testing.
Anyone care to try this out? I play a horde warrior, so there isn't much I can do to test this.
Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children, is increased with tales, so is the other.
