This is another question that deals with healing...as a new healer I may have a lot in the future, so bear with me please
What is the best way to manage threat while healing? How much threat should a tank have before you heal? Is it better to spam more lower threat heals or use the bigger heals that usually have more threat less often?
Oh and Plankeye...what is the grid mod called that you are using there?
Never not heal tank but watch out for landing heal before they even have threat. Thats a good way to die If a tank can not generate enough threat by the time you need to heal them, you need a new tank.
Druids don't have a threat reducing ability so to compensate, be sure to max out the threat reduction talent you have and at least get the subtlety enchant (-2% threat) on your cloak and work towards getting the healing meta gem with another -2% threat reduction.
Generally speaking, you should not be able to ever pull threat off a tank simply by healing. Heals are alreay at 50% threat reduction, and you only generate threat based on the amount you heal for, that is overhealing generates no threat.
You can easily pull threat if the tank is attempting to keep threat on mulitple mobs if your threat generation from heals is greater then the tanks threat generation on one of the adds.
