It is pretty annoying, remember seeing it mentioned here weeks ago,
then forgot about it, but couldn't help noticing one druid in TB last
night *always* on me or one of the other healers, pretty clear he had
this addon since he'd make a beeline for whichever of us was closest
to him, even with loads of other players in between. Funny thing was
he wasn't much good so I could easily heal myself through him, till
someone else noticed and killed him - suppose he did stop me healing
other people for a bit with the distraction but he sure wasn't killing
me - regularly saw him die next to one or other of the healers lol.

Doubt it'll get broken/banned but it does feel kinda lame having it
make it THAT easy to spot a healer in a huge crowd. I don't mind
getting constantly targetted in a small BG like WSG or AB; there it's
pretty easy to spot the healer for yourself, but when I'm in the
middle of a huge crowd, spell effects going off everywhere, it
shouldn't be quite so easy to notice I'm the one casting heals. I hate
addons that play the game for people, it's just lazy.
