All to common, unfortunately. I've only been stuck on raid healing once or twice as disc, and yeah, as a raid healer, our numbers are going to appear low to the raid leader, I understand that. They may not know the spec, so be sure to tell him exactly how much you are mitigating.
In a raid, my Prayer of healing surpasses 50% crit with the 2-piece bonus on my healing teir, so thats a LOT of divine aegis getting thrown around, adding shields, and you've got a meaty chunk of your healing not being represented... granted it's not nearly as nice as a 'real' raid healer, and far too mana inefficient, but as long as you keep a clear head, and make good use of your Prayer of Healing/borrowed time combo, you should be able to keep up enough to finish the encounter.
If they don't want to work with you, theres not much you can do but grin and bear it, or leave the raid.

Yep ... happens all the time .. just use sock puppets to explain mitigation in simple terms to the uninformed
I LOL'd.
I'm the type who will strongly defend my performance, especially if questioned. I've taken Recount, and done all the math to figure out my mitigation amounts.*
First off, if someone doesn't understand what Discipline does, simply link Divine Aegis and Soul Warding. If those two talents alone don't quite explain it, then note that for every PW:S you are mitigating around 5k. If they still don't get it, ask why they're pestering a spec that they clearly do not understand.
Mention that they're overhealing doesn't get shown on Recount, and see how worked up they get, and how much they'll defend themselves.
* To get a ballpark number of your mitigation (I use Recount, so will use it as an example when referring to these numbers):
- Add together all critical heals capable of causing Divine Aegis
(Amount of Criticals) * (Average Critical Amount)
- Multiply the above total by 0.3
This will figure out your Divine Aegis mitigation
- Multiply the TOTAL amount healed by your PW:S glyph by 5
This will be the mitigation amount of your PW:S
- Add those two totals together, and BAM. You have a rough estimate on how much mitigation you were
offering
for the raid. Note that not all mitigation will get absorbed (healing up someone you rez'd, for example, could cause Divine Aegis that won't actually get used).

2.1 - 0.7 = 1.4m
1.1 + 0.9 - 0.05 = 1.95m
I suppose "effective" involves a subjective interpretation, but I am going with:
Rampriest > Holy Paladin.

Nothing sucks more about being discipline than every pug thinking your healing is terrible because they don’t realize how much absorption you put out instead of actual healing. If you want to shut them up, get the “Guessed Aborbs” addon for recount. Nothing will be more gratifying than when they see that you put out more absorbs than they did total heals. Trust me, I have to do this in every pug I go to.
Without the guessed absorbs addon, you leave yourself to be scrutinized.

It's been almost a year since Lich King came out. How are there still people leading raids who don't know how disc works?

Why ask the question if you weren't at least somewhat competent at math?
2.1Mil total healing is greater than 1.1Mil total healing + 900k absorbed by 100k.
If you had said
efficient
healing than you may have had a point, but a Holy Pally running only 25% overheals is pretty damn efficient as far as class and play style allow.
Considering you're critisising other people's maths skills:
700,000 = 1/3 of 2,100,000.
I worked it out in about 2 seconds.
33%. Not 25. You may want to follow your own advice.
The point that Rampriest is making is that the Disc priest overheals much less. Absorbs make up much of the Disc Priest's heals. However, most people ignore absorbtion numbers, yet accept that Holy Paladins overheal a lot. His question is; Why are most people that incompetent.

EDIT2: I'd like to add as well that
Sacred Shield
absorbs a hell of a lot of damage. Now - not nearly as much as PW:S+Divine Aegis absorbs are, but my Shields absorb close to 2500 damage every 6 seconds. So add in "amount absorbed" to the Holy Pally and he beat you by more than just 100k.
Sacred shield is single target yes?
PW:S/Divine Aegis is multi target yes?
Redo the maths please
