Healing on my druid is easy, if someone needs a huge heal that’s when I use nature’s swiftness combined with healing touch. Tranquility has minimal use in raids, but if your whole group is dying and in range, it is pretty obvious to use it then. As a shaman using tidal force is very complicated because it isn’t a quick big heal or something that is going to crit RIGHT NOW, to save someone’s life. So I simply macroed it into my lesser healing wave, so that it is up as much as possible. I can’t help it, I had to do this or else it was completely useless. Nature’s grasp can easily be macroed to healing wave and chain heal, so that you can save a tank or a melee group who might be going down fast.

You can, of course, disable this stuff in the options, but I prefer to leave them on and selectively disable them in my macros.

Check out my Blood Strike macro below:

#showtooltip Blood Strike
/run SetCVar(“Sound_EnableSFX”, “0″)
/cast 10
/cast !Rune Strike
/run SetCVar(“Sound_EnableSFX”, “1″)
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast Blood Strike

All of my self-buffs, trinkets, gloves, etc all get thrown into the middle part (between the SetCVar lines). That’s so that if one of them isn’t available, we don’t get any error sounds. Then right before the actual ability, we clear out any red text (or quest objective completions, sadly) that might have appeared in the meantime.
