Things that I would like to see addressed:

1) One more Heal Spell Line NOT on timers with the others, one more group healing spell, or to take the recast timer on the existing one and reduce it.

I understand that the devs are trying to make it so that a group just needs a Healer, not specifically a Templar, for regular grouping. However Druids and Shamans also have a much larger pool of utility spells for a group along with healing thats almost as good as Templars. I think the difference is what 20-50 points at lvl 30-35ish. Except for the Soothe/Pacfiy line, there is nothing left over in utility for us. So leave Druid and Shaman with thier utility and healing ability, dont nerf thier healing, just upgrade ours. I would rather have more healing spells than utility spells anyways.

2) Fizzles and Interrupts

My skills are maxed out for my level and I will still fizzle a crucial healing spell. For example, using a Paladin as a tank trying to take a blue ^^^ Heroic. Supplicant's Prayer will Fizzle 4 times during the fight. Amelioration will Fizzel 3-5 times. Arch Healing may only fizzle once if not at all and Group Heal fizzles like crazy during an extremely long timer. It is frustrating to have to cast that spell and see the slow move to 75% casted and fizzle >.<. The other problem is as soon as I aquire 2 or more mobs on me my spell interruptions increase. By that I mean 2 mobs will interrupt me spell casting 1 out of every 6 casts (solo data). 3 mobs interrupt me 1 in 4, any more than 3 and I can kiss my butt good bye because between fizzles and interrupts I will NEVER cast a spell (I learned this the hard way trying to heal myself so that I could run from an accidental agro of 4 green ^^ mobs unprepared)

3) Odd agro bug

I already sent in a /bug but, when my tank agroes something in the perimeter, it comes after me. I dont have any reactives cast, only group buffs, and yet he can walk into a room of agroes grab one mob but any buddies come straight to me and I havent even casted a heal yet. That leaves my Pally desperately trying to pull them off me, while I try to get a heal off on myself so I can live, but I get Interrupted by being hit all the dang time.
