Wow! Thank you so much! I had no idea how to setup the macros. i was
wondering how people did it! This will help me alot!
How do I set up an attack macro that says something everytime I start to
attack? Like if I want to say "Don't run! We aer your friends" when I begin
attacking?

solution to the jerks as was volunteered earlier(make a character on your
server and yell at the jerks you have to deal with), but I do have one to
show all in your group you are doing, or at least trying to do, your job as
a healer. The solution is set up and use macros. At level 28, I have two
main heal macros. Each one states I am healing or greater healing the
person I have targeted. It also tells them to stay close as sometimes folks
walk out of range of a heal. This is my basic macro set up. You have five
lines to work with in a macro and my greater heal spell is in slot 1:
>
> /sit off
> /g Casting Greater Heal on %t. Stay close friend.
> /cast 1
>
> I include /sit off so I can hit the macro whether I am medding or not.
The /g will groupsay whatever you want. %t returns your target's name.
/Cast 1 casts the spell in your first spell slot. You can do /cast 1 to
/cast 8 for any of your slots.

Divine Aura, I can't heal - get this mob off me" or "Zone zone zone. Your
cleric is on his way to zone!" By the way, I don't always run for zone, but
it sure gets their attention that we might have a problem.

time I med, I call out that I am medding and how much mana I have. My macro
for that is:
>
> /book
> /g Medding. My mana is at...

> Then I tell them 50% or whatever it happens to be.

but I find most appreciate it. I can't please everyone. And when someone
asks why you Greater Healed so and so 4 times in a row, I say I didn't, I
had a bad fizzle streak. They can see how quickly each of my healing
messages came and realize themselves what happened - a good thing. Enough.
Too much caffeine.
