Im currently playing around with a healing character, i never played a healer before and i really enjoy it. I rolled a paladin, i already have a warrior and dk at 80 who both tank and dps, so i just wanna heal on this toon (i always queue as healer only). My paladin is currently level 27.

I´ve never seen a mail drop (cant use plate yet) with healing stats on, so i use cloth gear. But mages, locks, shammies, druids, priests sometimes complain a lot and throws a hizzyfit when i needroll on cloth or leather. What is "the proper" way of rolling as a paladin healer? There are no (atleast from what i have seen) mail healing gear at low level.

If you are using the Random Dungeon thing, you can't roll need on either. If you want to roll need on that stuff, you will have to make up your own group.
When you make up your own group, just ask before rolling need. Most people won't mind if you politely ask.

Ask the group first, but otherwise you shouldn't run into all that much trouble. Just be polite and chances are they won't care unless a clothy really needs the drop.

I would just keep rolling need on the items, you have as much use for it as them, and if they kick you, fine, let them sit in LFD for another 10 minutes finding another healer...

ofcourse you can need on cloth, lol.
Do it al the time on my restodruid and never had an issue with it. Yes indeed, never.
Strange hé?

Yep, just need on it if you need it. I've been leveling a resto shaman and have to roll on cloth too, since most leather and mail gear is just not itemized for us. I'd have to go half naked if I didn't. Sometimes I ask if I can need, sometimes I don't. I've never really had trouble, and the one time someone did say something a quick explanation about gear was enough.
When you hit Outland it's gonna be harder since the system prevents you from rolling need and you have to ask members of your pug if they would give the item to you/not roll on it when you really need it. Then again, gear drops also start getting a little better itemized for leather/mail/plate healers by then.

Spoken like a true ass-hat.
so between levels 1-60ish you'd rather roll on dps mail/plate gear
as a healer
than risk getting kicked from group?
or maybe i'm mistaken and this is a compliment
Yep, was about to answer to this around the same words that you used. :D Maybe he has just found the word "ass-hat" and urges to call people with that name in teh internetz.
Just check yourselves
not much mail drops that have intellect.
To OP: Go for it. You might want to let others know that you roll on cloth and leather at the start of the run tho.
