Healing and rezzing

I have a few questions on healing and rezzing.
Are healers who heal themselfs impossible to kill (like some WoW healers)?
Are healers impossible to beat in 1 vs 1 because of the fact that they can heal themselves?
Can you rez in combat? If you can, is it more viable to rely on this rather than release and run back?
I've heard rumors on a moral ability which is an instant aoe rez, is that true? If so, which classes have access to it?
In senarios, if one team has no healing class, does this mean that have no chances of winning?
Thx!

Depends on level difference between players and gear worn, otherwise it will also have to do allot with classes, none dps classes will have a very hard time killing a healer type class while pure dps may be able to kill them (depending on level and gear)
Healers can DEFINITELY be difficult to take down. I have pretty much exclusively played a Marauder- i just love the class- and it usually takes a well timed silence or I can switch to a different mutation and reduce their healing or put a debuff on them that hurts them everytime they cast a spell. I can generally beat up a healer in a 1 on 1, but it can be difficult to take a healer down (thats your level or near it) before they can find friends.
Healers are pretty tough in a 1 v 1 situation, depending on the classes involved. For a tank vs. healer, then yes, it will be pretty much impossible for the tank to do the DPS required to kill the healer. For a melee dps vs. healer, then the healer won't be able to keep up with the DPS being put out, so they would lose. It's a balance mechanic present in a lot of games. X class is counterbalanced by Y class. Tanks are proficient against the melee dps, melee dps are proficient against healers, ranged dps are proficient against tanks, etc.
You can rez in combat and it depends, really. You have to read the situation. If you are defending and you beat off a wave of attackers, then yes, it is viable to rez. If you're getting overrun, then rezzing the person will simply result in another beatdown.
The morale abilities are incredibly nice, but I don't know if there is an instant AoE rez, as it would be higher level. I can certainly check to see if it is there for the archmage. So far they have been big direct heals.
It won't be impossible, but it will certainly be much more difficult. It depends on how well they perform as a team. If the team's melee DPS can keep the healers of the opposing team out of the picture, then it is concievable that they could win. Otherwise, it would simply be a question of if they could out dps the heals. Your health goes up pretty quickly when you're out of combat.
Also, if you are in a scenario and you have no healers, then yes odds are you are going down. However, a good mix definitely has seemed to work better then overloading any one particular class.
Cool! All that being said, which healers do you guys love the most to have in your back-pocket?
Honestly, any of the healers are good to have in your backpocket. It just depends on your playstyle. If you're looking to pair up in RvR, it's not going to really work as the healer will simply get overrun by quicker dps types and the tank won't be able to do much about it.
