Because I'm better than the other healers in the guild. Also I have all healers (save a druid) at max level so, with a little notice, I can have anything ready to go come raid night. Unless a fight desperately calls for every healer to be a druid there is no reason not to bring me.

Bring the player, for she has all the classes.

Oh man, that would be funny.

I'd like to see a fight that desperately calls for any healer to be a Druid. That would be a nice change for my mossy brethren.

There, I answered your question from a min-max point of view for every class in current patch/content.

He gets it.

You'll want to make sure you have at least one (insert my spec) in case it becomes the next tier's flavor-of-the-week

You wouldn't bring it in for progression. You'd bring it in a few weeks later perhaps.

Because I'm better.

1) I know the fights.

2) I'm gemmed/enchanted/reforged properly.

3) I bring my own consumables.

4) I don't suck at what I do.

Because I make funny noises over vent under times of distress.

Because the alternative is 2-healing it with our less experienced healers.

#1 I'm better than any alternative.

#2 I know fights. And this is a very distant #2. Ones performance justifies raid spot. Nothing else.

Some fights are easier with certain healing classes than others. It's just how it is. Monks used to always have an "in" for Garalon and similar fights but that was nerfed. Disc priests are amazing on just about every right (holy honestly is probably too good too) which is causing them to get nerfed. Shamans are great for Empress with all the AoE damage + fear totem.

Killing Empress on 10 man is harder with Resto Druid, Paladin, Monk and it is Disc Priest, Paladin and Monk. It is how it is.

I can do it, coach!

Simple. If anybody's about to die, I'll see to it that they don't.

Unless perhaps they bathe in the bad stuff then i'll probly won't go out of my way to prevent their imminent suicide.

Well, I'm disc.

What -kind- of funny noises? o_O

Your GM tells you your about to start working on Boss X, X does average AOE damage and strong Tank damage with Burst AOE damage every couple of minuets.

Justify your raid spot, why should the raid leader bring you class to heal this fight.

(Couple of minuets was meant to be ambiguous.) (assume it doesn't line up perfectly with your cool down)

Healing Tide totem, spirit link totem, ascendance.

Effeminate screams of terror. As if dying in game will kill me IRL. Usually only happens during Spirit Kings or Blade Lord.

Now that sounds entertaining.

The real question, though, is why you have water fountains on your shoulders. :(

Mine would be, "Hey, remember that expansion where I provided 90% of the flasks needed for cauldrons and 90% of the fish for feasts?"

JK

Well, I have HTT and I can heal more when its down.
I have healing rain if we need to stack. That does some nice healing along with a bonus to health.
I have SLT.
I rock a spirit heavy build so I can be your mana battery.
I don't die to mechanics very often.
Oh, and I can drop 300k heal bombs into the tank every 1.2 seconds thanks to too much haste and 4pc.

I research fights.

I don't stand in bad stuff.

I'm reliable and rarely ever miss a raid.

I challange myself, I like to solo heal fights if I think I can.

I'm a girl IRL, every raid group needs a girl!

Bring the player not the class, sure Druids are a bit blah right now but I play my Druid to the best of my ability.

I don't let people die - if they die it's almost always their fault.

If you're a good player, you shouldn't have to justify your spot.

Disc priests aren't bad enough to outweigh the fact that I'm experienced at healing with them.

As a matter of fact, they're actually not bad at all, considering the tank heals I can lay down. Don't expect me to help with aoe too much though.

Also, if we're not quite beating enrage timer, I could whip up some atonement...
