I'd like to have a self-only heal spell. I know that sounds selfish, but I heal myself a lot during combat if the mob is challenging. It's very helpful to be able to add some of my own healing on top of the healing you are getting from the group healer, especially on Named Mobs that hit for 4-5k and especially if that healer is a Shaman since their heal spells are so slow to cast. I'm quite effecient at hitting my toggle key to go back and forth between the mob and myself and casting at the appropriate time with a mouse click. I can do it in a blink due to our fast cast heals.
But, it would be nice to have just one heal that was Self-Only where there was no need to target myself. It could still be interupted and all that, just like any other spell, but give it a cast time of 1 or 1.5 Seconds and make it Self-Only so you can spam it during tough fights to improve our survivability and assist the healer that's trying to keep us up without having to do all the toggle toggle toggle stuff. It doesn't even have to be all that mana effecient (just like all the rest of our heals) and can be more geared towards helping out on tough fights as opposed to an every day XP grind type heal and that can be managed with the mana ineffeciency.

The other solution would be when cast on a mob, the heal is directed to yourself.
Much easyer, and dont need to create new spell.

You could make that into an AA that you buy. You could call it, Healing Reflection AA. Give it 5 levels. Each level reflects more of the healing ability to you. At level 1 if you cast your healing spell on a mob you have targeted, it relfects 20% of that healing back to you. Level 2 would be 40%, Level 3, 60%, Level 4, 80%, and level 5 would reflect all of the healing back to you.
Whatever works. I just hate toggling toggling toggling back and forth trying to spam myself during those hard Named fights and such.

aurora ???
we already have a self heal, 0 toggle required and at rk III it provides a 16k heal cast time is under 3 seconds... 0 recast and you can ultra spam...
although a reverse promised renewal would be cool, much like the spell the brownies cast during SoF, for them it provided a 12k proc heal they could always scale that down.

I like the thought, but I'd love something a little further than just a self only heal. I'd like a castable proc that stacks with our other procs that can proc a HoT on ourselves, maybe 18 or 24 second duration, same buff type as our LoH recourse but will not over-write it, so it could stack with everything else we have. It would renew my interest in my HoT crit AA's.
If a self-only heal is a route to go, I honestly would like that one to be more mana efficient than others so to force me to choose between which spell to cast where. I like our current spell lineups, but I think we should be good at keeping at least ourselves going when needs be without driving the crazy train to OOM land.

True, that is going the route of WoT. So perhaps that should be avoided. I can dream though.

aurora doesnt, it split it between the grp, and doesnt work solo.
It s a grp heal period, not a self heal, got nerfed solo for a reason.

That's not what the OP asked about, though. He specifically described having a group healer that he wanted to supplement. I'm given to understand that Aurora is a superb self-heal when the paladin is tanking in a group, since it doesn't waste its power on undamaged group members.

Aurora works great as a self heal for solo as long as you have a merc out and passive. Especially now that it's been fixed so a full time passive merc stops charging. It would also work fine in a group setting if noone else was damaged. But having it so limited makes it a hassle a self heal wouldn't be to bad to grant pallies tho I like the Idea toggling to drop a burst on myself for named to help the healer gets annoying.
