Default Help a Cleric out?

Playing a Cleric on Green launch. Have played Shaman for years on live, so I have some healing and buffing experience, and I just got a Cleric to 30 on beta, so I got the basics and figured out the spell lines and stuff and which buttons to push.

My question for the tanks here, specifically the mains:

How do I keep my tank relationship nice and smooth and full of love? I know I heard it from the clerics and there are guides and whatever. But I wanted to hear it from the tanks, like what are your pain points with Clerics and what do you really appreciate?

Like what's yous guys take on a good guy Cleric?

Once you get Complete Heal, it's sometimes nice to let the tank know at what percentage you intend to CH them. If they're taking damage quickly, you might start CH at 50 or 60%. If they're super tough and the mob isn't hitting them hard, you could CH them at 40%, or even lower if you're pushing for maximum mana efficiency.

Don't argue with the tank. Thanks enrage and will dip out. There goes the group.
Just keep people alive

But this is really more of a social question. Feel out the group. If they like banter, chat them up. If they're all introverts just shut up.

True story, I once had a Cleric blame me for dying after dying (without heals) when he had EQ minimized, watching netflix. Somehow he did not see the problem with that.

Not much to it as a Cleric. If you get aggro, stand your ground (invulnerable spell if needed) and don't run around like a chicken because that makes it harder on us to peel stuff off you. Maybe talk to the tank, see how much life he has so as to time complete heals for best mana efficiency. Realistically most clerics simply CH at about half regardless of how much life the tank has. Keep us posted on your mana, although in practice the puller is 50/50 likely to ignore such reports anyway.

Don't just be like "30m." "20m." You are allowed to say "30m, space out pulls" or "10m, please hold pulls."

This is actually really good advice. Communicate your mana situation with the group. So they don't do some dumb move like pulling 5 mobs while ur at 20m
