 :)  The ones targeting you aren't the idiots Orion, the ones ignoring
you and trying to DPS through your heals are the idiots.

Back when I used to PvP, I found that I'd get away with healing most
of the time depending upon the size of the groups that were fighting.

Usually when people did attack me it was because they'd worked out
that the fight was lasting too long and that there must be a healer
about.

That was back in TBC though (and a small amount of WG early on in
Wrath).  I'd guess that it's changing now that someone's written an
addon to find healers.

This one's easily solved :)  Just leave the BG channel and if you
can't do that, untick it from the list of channels that are shown in
your chat window.
