In order to get wow gold, healing is a very important skill in World of Warcraft. Here we will mainly talk about main tank and off tank healing.
Healing in main tank, you will have to stick with casting Greater Heal above Flash Heal. Main tanks will tend to charge in first to groups of trash or when tanking a boss. Before the off tank has a chance to be able to pull any extra mobs off of the main tank, he/she will be taking lots of damage at first. So getting Prayer of Mending on the tank before they charge in will handle any spike damage they may take in case they really do charge and are out of healing range for a couple of steps. Keeping Renew on the tank as much as possible will help with spike damage that occurs from crits or special abilities that the boss or trash mobs do. You don't be afraid to use Flash Heal every now and again, if the tanks HP is not falling in large chunks, Flash Heal can be a good spell to use when outside of a Boss Fight. As a main tank Healer, you will be doing a lot of over-healing and you can never know sometimes when the tank will lose a lot of health.
You have to keep track of your range and special abilities from bosses. Tanks will have to move every now and again to accommodate for things that are happening. That's why Renew is a great spell to keep on the tank when they move slightly out of range. You should keep an eye out for Emotes letting you know when the ability is coming and spike damage is going to occur, which requires you to start casting Greater Heal to hit after the tank takes the damage or have protective spells such as Power Word: Shield or Guardian Spirit up so they do not die.
Like main tank healing, off tank healing is also very important. When dealing with most trash mobs, off tanks won't require much healing and so you must raid heal until the off tank's role is required. In Ulduar, there are many trash mobs that require an off tank, compared to Naxxramas. You heal your off tank just the same as you would a main tank, lots of Greater Healing, Renews up and possibly a Flash Heal every now and again. In some cases, the off tank will run in before the main tank, to take care of extra trash mobs while the main tank pulls out the bigger and badder one. So get that Prayer of Mending on, and spam in some heals until the main tank pulls the hard hitter out of there.
When the tanks are going to be switching, you can start getting those heals ready to be cast on your off tank. You should keep track of the Emotes and your environment as well, to know when spike damage is going to occur or if you end up having to move out of range of your tank to get some protective spells up on the tank while you can't heal.
