HP buffing everyone is kind of a waste. I'd say initially do it, but by the time they wear off you should have a good idea for how well your tank is keeping agro, when he loses agro who ends up taking it. Anyone not taking damage is just a waste to use mana on giving hp/ac to since they're not gaining anything from it. You'd want to HP buff the puller at least and if they're having issues symbol them too. Enchanters should def be HP buffed and probably symboled too with the way resists are these days.
A tip for low levels. You get more efficient healing casting your hp buff on people then using the lower heals. And whenever possible try to time your heals between server ticks (keep your inventory screen open, when you see your mana tick up stand and heal, then sit back down).
If you feel like it, you can melee some too between these ticks (easier to do when duoing/trio'ing then in a full group). Using a 26delay weapon when I'm on my cleric I find if i swing twice, i can sit down and hit the tick, then stand and get two more swings in. Not really contributing a whole lot to the group but it's useful for keeping your melee skills up so that later on you can melee down greens that might agro on you after doing a rez for someone somewhere.
When grouping with necros, unless they're actively taking damage from a mob that the tank can't get off them (or if they fail their FD), don't bother healing them. The most effective method of damage dealing they'll have is often times their lifedrains, they'll gain their health back anyways. Monks are kind of the same thing, they have mend, let them use it.
As others have said, keep at DA, root, and at least 1 stun up. I also like to keep gate up.
2 heals (1 for CH once you get it and 1 for healing casters), 2 stuns, root, da, gate. Then luse the last slot to change out with lull and your buffs.
If you're running into times when you have so much mana you feel like nuking, make your puller pull more aggressively instead and force you to use that mana to heal.
