In general, speedrunning is all about maximizing the raid's positioning, movement, and stacking enemy monsters together, empowering your melee-focused raid composition to cleave down trash mobs as quickly and efficiently as possible. And lastly, as a general rule of thumb for healers, they should be focused on "drink-walking" whenever the opportunity presents itself, spamming drink while moving and still getting off mana ticks, thanks to the increased spell batching window in World of Warcraft: Classic.
