Quote from the WoW forums, describing resto shammies and how to spot them:

Actually that is often one of the easier ones to spot. Follow the giant yellow beam that appeared on your target back to its source and you almost always see a giant cow or blue goat squid thing wearing a skirt and shield with a potato circling his waist.

If instead of a giant cow or blue goat squid thing with a potato circling him, you see someone running around and hitting stuff, see if the giant yellow beam continues beyond the running target and back to the healer with a potato circling his waist. You might have to repeat that last step if you once again find someone hitting stuff when you trace the yellow beam.

To get rid of this sort of healer, all you need to do is take their potato and then apply something called crowd control. Sometimes when you attack him, the healer will turn into a transparent puppy. Don't worry though because this is as easy to take away from him as the potato was. Don't forget to give the healer some more crowd control after taking their potato and puppy. At this point the healer will be very sad and is effectively taken out of the game. You may either kill them or leave them to mope at your discretion.
