Hi, I just need the advice here....
I am having a problem on keeping up the total amount of healing done on 25 man raid compare to other healers, especially when I raid as a disc priest but I normally be able to keep it up for 10 man raid (sometimes, I do get to the top of the healing list). Normally, the raid we have consist of (This is the guild raid so we normally have the same people on)
2 Holy Pally
1-2 Restore druid
1 Restore shaman
2-3 Priests
Which will make up to 7 healers in total, well I am usually be the last 3 when I roll a disc ( I sometimes role holy too when I feel like it, so my gear is like a hybrid gear with a high amount of crit).
My job when I roll disc in the raid is to do the raid heal for trash and situational MT/raid heal depends on the boss fight. My healing style is to use PoM on every CD and renew the tank before the pull. For raid heal, I normally spamming fheal/renew on differrent people and shield when I know that AOE is coming (or sometimes I just shield 1st then heal, depends on the situation). For boss fight, my healing style is depending on the boss, eg. MT heal for 4 horseman, Maxxena and the death/live boss on naxx and for do a raid heal for a boss like sapp and Lotheb (I just throw the shield and renew on whoever I find in the raid, fheal/penance if needed for the raid heal with the AOE boss like Sapp).
It normally end up that top 2 of my healing done is PoM and renew while the 3rd one is a random spell (that is for the whole raid run). I also found that some healer healed my target before my heal landed lots of time, but still, I am just wondering how can I improve my healing done in the 25 man raid?
PS. we normally made it through the raid and I have raid with them from their first attempt and most wiped are not the healers false, so no one in my guild really care about it but I just want to improve my performance.
Thanks in advance for your suggestion
Hmm, well don't forget that meters don't show shields, but it sounds like you aren't using them extensively. If you raid has you on raid healing most, and tank healing less, it might be in your favor to stay holy more often.... WTB duel specs, right?

get the pw:shield glyph. on your heal-o-meter (i use recount) multiple the amount healed by that by 5... figure your total healed to include that and you won't be so far behind.
also check your overheal, relative to the healers. that will tell you if other heals are getting to your targets first.

You a single target healer. you shouldn't be healing randoms. if its trash then just dps a bit. you shouldnt have trouble on trash. and if you single target healing (a tank for example) nobody else should be healing that target at all except you. If they are then they are just wasting mana by trying to do 2 things at once. Granted that grid doesn't show tanks dps and healers. but if your getting consistent overheals then speak to your GL. Say your a tank healer. and do your job. and do it well :D

What's your spec?
I can't help but notice you didn't mention Penance at all...

the only problem with pw:s glyph is that it doesn't show up if you shield person with full hp.
-------------------------
Don't shield just in case of aoe, it holds for 30 secs and it's almost guaranteed it will be used. Weakened soul debuff gives you 4% crit to heals on affected person via talent. Maintaining shield is a bit like druid watching over lifebloom stacks.
Get
this
talent!
Also don't forget Grace buff from healing - makes target take 6% less damage and receive 6% more healing (from everybody) when fully stacked. Penance hits 3 times total and stacks it to full.
For PoH & holy nova - try asking if you can be put in tank group.
Edit: in raid environment, Gheal is not very useful - simply because it will usually land after other healers' spells. Get Fheal glyph and use this.
Focus on spellpower,crit and int. spirit...well, it's nice to have, but not at expense of these 3 stats.
