How can I drive Tank and control who healer targets and heal

Hi Guys

I am still learning the ropes here. I am trying to drive the tank on my 5 box team and sometimes I need my priest to put out a renew, flash heal, shield or pain suppression on another character. How can I always drive the tank, but have the healer heal one of the others (Tank or someone else) without switching windows?

Thanks

Healing comes down to personal preference and people tackle it in many different ways. Just a quick list of a few possible solutions:

1) Use Straight Key Broadcasts in order send a key to the Priest. That key should be bound to a macro that is then hard-coded to cast a single support spell (or castsequence) on someone in your party. [http://wowpedia.org/Making_a_macro]

2) Use Click Bars (or Menus) to create buttons that, when click on, will send a key to the Priest's window which, again, will need to be bound to a macro.

3) Install a unitframe add-on (e.g. Grid) on the Priest which will allow you to use mouseover macros (or another add-on like Clique) to then heal your party. Use Video FX to show these unitframes on your tank (or every other game client). There is a Basic Healing 101 video on the Video FX Wiki page showing how to accomplish this -- The video is old, but the method still works.

I literally have a video coming out next week (hopefully) which outlines all of these three methods.
