When fighting in RvR or scenarios, there are a number of things to bear in mind:
Don't over-extend. This is mainly aimed at MDPS classes, especially Witch Elves and With Hunters. Stay within range of your healers, and try to stay in line of sight (LoS). Many players even in higher tiers (especially MDPS classes) go charging off into the distance, get nuked and then whine they didn't get heals. If your healer doesn't even know where you are, they can't heal you.
Tanks- use guard when you get it. This is particularly true of sword and board tanks, and be ready to switch guard to whomever needs it most. If you're guarding a MDPS player, and he's fine but your healer is getting pummeled by their MDPS, switch guard to the healer. Commonsense stuff but you'd be amazed how many folks don't guard at all, much less switch. Also remember to stay within guard range of your friendly target, ideally if it's a MDPS you should run with them and hit what they do (see assisting below).
Healers - use your HoTs wisely. If you see a MDPS going after a healer or other enemy player, throw a HoT at him, even if he hasn't taken damage yet. Also keep an eye on your Sorcs/BWs; their backlash mechanic can kill them quicker then the enemy, and quite often they get overlooked because the healers are focussed on the MDPS and tanks on the front line. Also, learn when to res and when not too. If you're the last guy standing and a massive melee train is heading your way, anyone you res is likely to just get squished the second the res - for example if I'm on a healer and he resses someone in front of me, I'll nearly always switch to the newly ressed guy and burst him down again before switching back to the healer.
Squishy classes - RDPS, healers and such, learn to move. Don't just stand in one spot, but try to move with the flow of battle. If your front line has punched through the enemy, try to move forward with them so they stay in heal range, and also be prepared for enemy MDPS coming after you. A healer standing in one spot not paying attention to his immediate surroundings is a gift to an enemy stealth class. Learn to kite.
Learn to assist - whenever you're in a group, one player will have a small skull icon on them. This designates them as the "main assist". When you hit your "assist main assist" button (default F8) you will automatically switch to their target.
Ideally a DPS tank or MDPS should be main assist. If you are the group leader, assign a main assist and encourage people to assist that player. In scenarios, there's a button at the bottom of the scenario party window entitled "claim main assist". If you take this option, say in scenario chat that you have done so.
Situational awareness is the key in RvR - try to keep an eye on where everyone is. It's tough, but it makes all the difference. If your healers are getting stomped, you need to make the decision whether or not to break off your own attack and go help them - don't just rely on someone else doing it.
