I was hoping this is something that maybe other people can lend some insight into, but it seems to me that click-selecting players only works about half the time.
 
What I'm talking about is when you go to select a player by clicking on his model in game, or in his portrait, it doesn't always work. I ran Scorchwing last night and I'd be damned if I could select any single one of the players jumping around him so I could cast my Warden spell.
 
I don't recall this being a huge issue in WoW unless you had a bunch of UI addons installed. I played a discipline priest, and I was well adept at casting the split-second bubble that saved a careless dps from annihilation. In this game though, I don't feel like I fully trust my ability to make the same type of save, and I'm not able to pull something off as simple as spot healing a dps during a boss fight. I know there's a bunch more stuff going on, but I've had many times where I "thought" I selected a player (I clicked on his portrait) but it didn't register and I missed the heal. Now I have to spend a fraction of a second longer to make sure I actually have him on target, but usually by then he's already dead or I need to move to avoid a telegraph. It makes the targeted spells basically useless to me unless I already have the person targeted when I need to cast it (which led to my rant on targeted spells in a prior post).
 
As to what's causing it? I wish I knew more about this kind of stuff, but to me it feels like UI lag, or that the game has priority on screen dragging your camera over selecting items with your mouse (if you're a heavy clicker, it can be hard to register a mouse click as a selection as opposed to a slight adjustment to your camera).
 
I would definitely love it if Carbine made selecting players in the world view a bit easier, either by adjusting the hit boxes on players or if they added a selection cursor hotkey or something.

			I have more trouble with clicking player models than their portraits but I think I know what you mean.

			You need hit the nametags/healthbars i think, but if you are serious about healing get some proper raidframe addon, theres many different ones.

This is not a top issue, and most definitely not something that should take massive priority over other things. But that being said, the targeting of players in the world space is frankly put just not good enough, and should/has to be changed some time in the future - once more important things has been ironed out, and 'launch' has settled. I can name 4 people that leveled to 45+ and quit due to this exact issue.
 
It works. But it feels truly clunky. It's more often than not annoying, targeting someone without the use of player frames or the tab key.

I agree.  I found it hard for some reason to click select players in the world.  It like I miss most of the time.  I don't know what it is either but I'm think its like their hit box/model is smaller than appears in reality.

			Most of the times i had this issue happen, i just reload ui and it seems everything kinda gets easier to be clicked or interacted, i'm betting it's more about the UI bugging then the actualy model clicking.
