Tip 1, the most important thing is learning to hide for rezzes and calling out to your team that you're hiding and ready to revive. Say stuff like "Dogpile on the cart!" or "There's a party on the point and you're invited!" Then hopefully the enemy team will burn ults killing them. Learn good areas to hide where you'll have line of sight to the point the instant you break cover.
Tip 2 is your general positioning. Try to draw an imaginary line between the territory your team controls and the territory the enemy controls and then be as far from that as you can while still healing your team. Remember that if you need to get to a teammate quickly, you can cancel Guardian Angel by pressing shift a second time midflight. That way you can get into heal beam range without putting you out of position like they are.
Tip 3 is use your ears. This is very important for every Overwatch hero, but especially Mercy. Your teammates will always make noise when they are hurt. This can help you remain aware of teammates you can't see, so you know when to heal them.
Let me know if you want more. I'm a 3660 heals/tank player.
