Holy paladins remain spam healers and the 5 second rule isn't all that useful to them. The reason is simple.
Spirit. They don't have any, and thus their mana recovery when regenerating is very slow compared with that of a priest or a druid.
Holy is all about being the mana-efficient healer. With Illumination and Divine Illumination, their heals tend to be very strong in the efficiency department. Thrown in strong mana recovery from Divine Plea, and they can FoL just about forever in the proper gear.

Since you are not up to level 80, I won't comment on what you should do then (although, I don't think the essence of what I'm about to say would change much)
The "five-second rule" (5SR) does 'exist' for Paladins, as it does for any caster. At higher levels, a lot of your gear will have MP5, meaning you can it even when you are casting.
The difference between our mana regen when not casting (outside the 5SR) and our MP5 is smaller than other classes that stack spirit (Priests, Druids). That means while it may be beneficial for Priests and Druids to try to get in some regen outside the 5SR, it usually is not for Paladins and Shaman.
At level 55, you're probably going to save more mana by using Flash of Light liberally than using Holy Light every so often, simply because Holy Light has such a high mana cost and you don't have a whole lot of Intellect. In that sense, you'll actually be doing a sort of passive mana regen (since you're saving mana by using 2 Flashes of Light instead of 1 Holy Light).
I could be way off on all of this. But that's my initial thinking.

The 5SR exists for ALL mana using players. The players who benefit from it most are priests, druids, and sometimes casters because spirit mechanics have been changed for mages and warlocks.
Paladins continue to benefit least of all casters from spirit and staying OO5SR, which has always kind of been the point as our talents allow us to regain mana in other ways, namely crits. and now Divine Plea.
