Guild leadership has become infatuated with this guy, but his healing method is generally pretty selfish and is entirely aimed at producing big heal numbers. How can I make them realize this?
And if this isn't the case, has Eratos discovered some new viable healing method now that 2.4 has hit?

As the lone CoH priest in our guild, I am almost always on the top of the meters. Does this matter? No, it just shows how powerful CoH is. Healing meters are not damage meters. If you pump out the most HPS/Health healed per night but your tank assignments or other assignments are constantly dying then you are not doing your job.
If you want a true test, in my opinion. Take Illidari Council, that is a fight that shows how well healers heal. Depending on their assignment it is generally a fight that allows minimal overheal (I'm talking back to the pre-TBC days of 20% or less). It is a long endurance fight with tons of random damage.
