you want my epic healing mace? i havent bought it yet but i plan to buy it and +81 healing it and run around healers. (i can also do the +81 healing myself)
alamort:
1) as far as i concern, a healer, not just priest, should be healing people that are dying, whoever they are unless under very specific situations like eg:
nefarion priest calling, healer already being assigned specifically on only one guy (raiding, usually not applicable to 5mans), dalliah in arcatraz where by if the target gets the heal debuff, it will heal the boss if the target gets healed.
in your point, sure, the holy paladin can heal himself, but lets try switching up positions a bit, lets say, a holy paladin should never heal a priest, and currently, said priest is being pounded by 2-3 mobs, very close to dying, heals are being interrupted, fade is on cooldown, fear is on cooldown or mobs immuned/room packed with mobs to ultilize fear, tell me, let the priest die, or paladin heal him so he can live on? i believe, to every healer, the answer is obvious.
2) shield, despite how you may think, is NOT a mana effecient spell, even if its instant, its GCD also takes time, while simple flash heals while having 1.5sec cast, doesnt have a GCD attached to it. so its not as simple as "shield + renew and gg ur fixed" can save lives.
3) we arent talking about the priest letting the paladin die i believe, we're talking about the priest himself being stubborn, and at the same time, being "not-so-bright".
