I've got a lvl 90 Holy priest that I will list as healer and dps for a  
celestial and Ordos weekly in the raid tab of the social window. [As 
background I haven't done any heroics or instance raids on him but did 
some instances while leveling. I say that to say I have a decent concept 
of group healing but not a lot of practice.] Usually these groups are 
pretty much form-get-everyone-there-buff-kill and move on. Still I would 
like to do proper healing. I have and use Healbot but it is probably not 
optimized.


Here are some issues/questions:

AOE healing: I try to have 1 available when the burst damage comes from 
a boss but if I have more is there a rule of thumb for putting it down 
for the melee at the boss or further out for the ranged?

Tank Healing: I try to keep the heals up on a tank that bounce between 
players and prioritize healing a tank that takes damage but as far as I 
can tell there are not healers dedicated to the tanks so I never know if 
we have too many healers focused on that or not enough. Am I missing 
something?

DPS Healing: I prioritize the tanks and throw out AOE heals when burst 
damage comes. If individual dpsers need heals past that I throw out what 
I can. The heals I use have a cast time though and it seems like by the 
time my heal is actually cast another healers has taken care of them and 
they are full or they are dead. I could use my heals that bounce among 
players but then they might not be available for the tanks. Tips and 
ideas would be appreciated.
