Anything you do to help your allies during a fight will anger the monsters. Your job is to help them (mainly with heals) without your allies dying or the monsters coming after you. The way to do this is to heal between fights if possible, and to heal in the middle of fights if not. This is because at the beginning of a fight, the tank hasn't gotten much aggro on the monster (meaning, he hasn't done much damage to it), so a heal will likely get the monster onto you. But later on, the tank has a lot of aggro on the monster, so a heal will not cause it to care enough to go after you.
If a monster does come after you (maybe there are multiple monsters in the camp and the tank is only handling one, and you have bad crowd control, or maybe you were forced to heal early in the fight), stand still and slowly back away. This allows the tank to get aggro back without having to run around a lot. Do not sit until the tank has aggro again, and it's best to give a little buffer time here because your aggro is higher when you're sitting (so if the monster no longer cares while you're standing, it might come back at you when you're sitting). Do not cast any more heals if you can help it while the monster is on you, and do not melee, because this will just make it harder for the tank to get it off you. Rooting the monster can be a good choice if you do not have other classes handling crowd control for you and the monster is a dark blue con (white and higher con monsters will resist root or it will break early more often, and then they'll be very angry at you).
If things are looking very bad, use Divine Aura - it will make you invincible for a short time and the monsters will ignore you (though all bets are off once it wears off, and you can't do anything or get heals while it's active). Or just gate out / run. But these should be last resorts.
