Healing Is Boring

How many of you just yawned? Thanks crazy_ryan.
Getting my priest to the point that she could heal challenging raids took some time. I spent hours inside various dungeons farming loot and badges. It is to the point now that my alt has as many Glory of the Hero sub-achievements as my main, and that's without even trying. Initially the process was a lot of fun. As a poorly geared level 80 I was constantly busy spamming heals, dispelling and general riff raff. In essence, I was re-learning most of the encounters from the new perspective of a healer, so my brain was engaged. The switch from pure DPS to pure healing extended the replayability of these dungeon.
Unfortunately, I still hit that wall. You know, the one that makes getting instance X a drag, where you always speedrun instance Y, and contemplate bailing on Z. The wall I am referring to is being overgeared, and that's when healing is incredibly boring.
