Game Mechanics: Group heal agro way too high

[wycca]

Group heal agro is waay too high. This is commonly known amongst healers that have group heals - pretty much, you cannot use group heals in fights. You instantly and irrevocably get agro on a mob.

Examples discussing use in fights that would NEVER be possible on p99 due to agro (I'm picking on group cheal just because it's more agro than any other group heal and none of these uses are possible -
