So you want to get hit in the face? Getting the stuffing knocked out of you repeatedly can win you fame, fortune and friends. However, the transition from waving your hands around to fill health bars or stabbing something until it stops moving can be a little awkward. My tips are designed to ease the potentially jarring transition:
Having tanked many a raid, both guild run and PUG, I’ve had each type of healer assigned to keep my little green bar full. Each one is very different in the way it feels to be healed by them. It’s sometimes helpful to know how their mechanics work so that you can tell when they’re in trouble and you should use a defensive cooldown. For some fights it’s more obvious such as Festergut at three stacks of Inhale, or Saurfang when he’s getting close to a full stack of 100 Blood Power, but sometimes a string of unavoided attacks means the healer might fall behind, and that’s when you want to blow a cooldown.
But that’s easy! I have an alert when my HP falls low. I just hit it then.
True, you could do it then. But maybe it’s a temporary dip. Depending on the type of healer keeping you alive this could happen several times during the fight. How do you know that NOW is the right time to use the cooldown? To answer that we’ll start looking at each healer in depth.

Yeah, I’ve got one.
I know there are a lot of people out there who think that getting a Celestial Steed is “selling out” or “giving Blizzard money” or “buying useless pixels.” News Flash: Every month that you pay your $15 subscription, you’re “buying useless pixels.” Will those pixels you get to play with every month for $15 get you a better job? A raise? A new girlfriend/boyfriend? Possibly… but probably not. In essence you’re paying for fun.
