Ok, I have every class at 85 that can heal. But I have never healed before. My guild wants me to start being a healer for 10 man raids starting a 2nd group.

So my question is what would be the EASIEST healing class to learn with to quickly get up to speed for raid healing?

Less buttons would be helpful in the begining lol.

Any advice would be appreciated.

The right answer for you is likely the least-right answer for someone else. All four healing classes have similarities (direct heals, mana conservation, a requirement to target your comrades), and all have noticeable distinctions (damage mitigation vs. health replenishment, greater or lesser reliance on heal-over-time spells, more or fewer instant-cast heals). How can you know what you truly enjoy, until you try them out?

You may want to look at some of the many guides and videos that other players have created, and you may find helpful information on our Classes page: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/game/class/

I suggest you try them all out. One will probably appeal to you more than the others.
