Well, two points here. First of all, I agree completely with you. My healing comments, if you look toward the top, are geared toward trash mobs specifically. With the bosses, I expect everyone to do everything in their power to win -- and at this point, the enchantress can much more effectively contribute as a HEALER (and limitedly to crowd control with knock-backs), in my opinion. So we're in agreement there.

However, I also get annoyed when people die because they could have potted in that same situation but groan "ugh, a pot is 44 gold" ... I cringe whenever I see that.

I enjoy healing in other MMO's for sure. It's just an inexact AOE heal in PL right now, and until it's something more than that, I can't see myself really enhancing a team's usefulness under level 30 in any other role than making us go faster with AOE.

Most annoying is people who die and expect me to go into a mob of 10 to revive them because they were biting off more than they were able. Or when a lower level person dies 20 times in an hour. At some point I just want to ignore them and play my game(I never boot unless there is a leacher who does nothing, even a low level can assist if they are smart)
Totally agree on discussing it beforehand. Spamming "healz plz" over and over doesn't count, LOL.

I know what you mean about the reviving, too. I hate reviving people who were just too lazy to run back, when EVERYONE else did, and they're dead right at the boss's feet, triggering aggro on me when I rez. Then *I* die, and *I* have to run back. Grrrr, LOL.
