I am not so sure that it is quite to the level that was previously said, about everyone head turning and the room belonging to you. You are well received among others, though.
Thanks for making me smile. That is kind of what it's like if you are a great healer with great gear. I never thought I'd like healing, but I ended up loving it. I prefer healing in PvP to raid healing though. It's always exciting. I don't particularly like to heal for randoms, but it was a lot of fun in RBGs. I had more than one decked out healer, so I never had trouble getting on a team or getting into YOLOs.
I remember asking this same question before. Knowing Healers in WoW are so important. But I agree with one comment here.
