True, sorry didn't mean to generalize, was referring more to the number of posts where people were identifying healing too early as the culprit and needing to start out with smaller heals until aggro is built. If they were only healing they would seemingly have to be cranking out the heals.

It's certainly apparent that anyone casting a 500 dmg nuke on incoming is going to make things difficult for the tank and exceed what we were able to generate early....my usual problem with impatient shaman.

Essentially people just need to be smarter about aggro management overall. So far though I don't see that coming primarily from healing in this game. If the healers are pulling aggro on a single mob then it's their dmg output by a large majority that they need to be careful of not their healing (unless it's spell based and not amount healed).
