20 despells are a way disproportionate amount for you IMO, especially if
the other guys is at 0. I don't care, who might be helping out. It's
in the other healers best interest to help you out, as if you oom, and
fail the raid fails, and he wipes as well. I guess this is why usually
the normal strat is to split the raid into two 5 mans instead of the way
you did it. The way you ran it, it was a lot a heals on him healing
both tanks, and a lot on you for the raid. A bit easier with your own 5
man group to worry about. Another reason for the 2-5man groups is the
two fire phases at 66 & 33%...Must have been fun trying to watch the
fire for yourself and watch out for 7 other players dancing all over the
room in and out of range...cudos to you! :)
He probably asked to do it that way because it was easier for him as a
pally heal, just tank healing. But to not despell to help out was BS in
my opinion. There should be no reason he could not have healed his own
5-man group in the normal way most people run it...Sound to me like he
was being lazy about it....just MHO....
