I just started healing with a priest and all I ask is; tank keep aggro, dps don't attack randoms, let me drink up if I am below 35% mana after a fight and I would like a ready check before you go off and pull the entire room. Too many times, I respec and drinking water and then the tank pulls. I understand everyone just want their emblems, but I can't heal with no mana.

I've had this happen before while healing on my Shaman. I switched specs, dropped into a dungeon in progress, said in party that I needed to drink real fast - and then proceeded to pop a mana pot and drop my Mana Tide Totem as the tank went ahead and pulled the boss anyway. When I ran out of mana and we wiped, the tank started berating me, at which point I dropped group and put him on ignore.
*shrug* Sometimes there's nothing you can do.

We don't think we are special. DPS is a faceroll...that's why everyone and their mother does it. Healing is quite a bit more difficult and tanking is more difficult that dps as well (when your not mega over geared)...point being, healers and tanks could give a fuq less what dps say do because a single dps isn't really all that important. If you don't want to deal with it anymore then roll a tank/healer.
What instances are
you
running? They sure as hell aren't the same heroics that the rest of us seem to be.
Healing requires almost no effort whatsoever in heroics. At least half the tanks can solo entire packs with no heals, and some tanks can solo the entire INSTANCE with no heals. In fact, none of the 3 archetypes are hard at all in anything that isn't HoR, with an ever-so-minor nod of the cap to tanking since you generally have to at least be awake to do that.
Your goal should be to get in and get out as fast as possible, in which case you keep everyone alive regardless of what they do.

Epic necro-rebuttal.
All healing consists of is making life bars move to the right and not standing in fire.
All tanking consists of is making mobs hit you and not standing in fire.
Generalize more.

Healing morons in 5 mans is sometimes more than I can bear. Its worse than tanking, at least tanks have some control over the group.
I can't heal five mans. I tried, and I hated it so much I cannot tell you.
Tanks do have control, but they also have idiots who like to taunt/DG just because they can.

Cranky healers? Put me in that category. Also put me down as a cranky tank. When some idiot starts blowing *!@# up one GCD into the pull, I'll save him once. The next time he dies if he doesn't have any survival CDs left. When some idiot is in the middle of an AoE when a pack of adds rounds the corner into the AoE, STOP THE ^&*!ING AOE! Again I'll save you once and tell you how to play intelligently, but after that you get to die. I'll rez you once for being a moron; the next time I'll vote to kick you.
It all comes down to DPS giving the tank 3 freaking GCDs before they blow ^&*! up. Do that and you shouldn't have any problems.

I always cringe when my Typhoon doesn't kill all the mobs...
I love the DPS trying to pull while I'm waiting for my runes to reset on my DK tank...or tell me "go"

Knockbacks. Motherf**king knockbacks. I think I like Osama Bin Laden more than I like that typhoon spamming boomkin.
This ^
I hate it when I grab aggro and then the shaman feels it is necessary to... knock everyone away. Seriously?
