I have been playing a healer as my main since release and have done a lot of HM FPs. Some of them with guard on me and some without. And to be honest, it seems like it makes absolutely no difference if Im guarded or not. If the tank knows what he is doing, there is no way I can pull aggro. Aggro is a mechanic I completely ignore as a healer. I do have a aggro dump, but to be honest I can't remember the last time I used it. The only time I ever pull aggro is if there are mobs the DPS or tank haven't dealt a few hits.
I think its fine to guard the healer if he actually is pulling aggro, but by default I would certainly guard a DPS. Especially sentinels seem to be pulling a lot of aggro (I have no numbers to back up that statement, to me it just seem like they pull aggro from the tank more often than the other classes based on the amount of healing I often end up doing on them).
