Did you jump into heroics right at 90?

First off, I believe you need 435 ilvl to enter heroics so you need a few more pieces.
Secondly, if you're a skilled healer you should be fine, I'm using a mastery spec on my holy paladin and I find it works ok.
Thirdly and this is the bit you should be used to by now, you never know who's going to be in your group, if you're a fresh 440 ilvl healer and have a tank who isn't geared that great either then you could have issues, like wise if you have dps that like to stand in stuff you will have issues.
End of the day, queue up as a healer and give it a go, if you come through it ok then continue, if you find you're struggling for mana or can't keep groups alive then get a few more pieces of gear via valor capping first or get boosted by a few friends :)

No problems. There arent even "dont stand in it or you die" mechanics of cataclysm. You can tank even in dps gear. If you can queque (meaning you got ilvl for it) it means you will be fine. Heroics are about as hard as max level normals previous expansions (mostly without the do_die mechanics). Couple of final bosses have something similar, but it shouldnt kill you or you team so easily. Plus tankadins and healadins are op (as long as you have a clue).
I once had a guy who kept spamming Flash of Light regardless of the amounts of damage we took. He was oom 20 sec into every pull. I tried to tell him about different spells, shields, shocks, holy power. Without any reaction, so we had to kick him (no clue about his gear, but i suppose he wasnt very experienced).(##RESPBREAK##)12##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##Transferred from duplicate thread.

I am at a similar level to you. Just getting gear and thinking about giving some heroics a go. Looking at you stuff would suggest you do the arena quest for the weapon its easy to do and is ilvl 450 also if you have the money get the 463 crafted shield cost me about 600g on my server which is only a few hours grind. From reading the comments think I give a normal ago tonight then an heroic. Since i haven't played or healed in nearly 18 months best ease in slow.

If you need help buffing your ilvl, try picking up some of the blue crafted PvP gear. It may lose some stats compared to the equivalent PvE stuff, but it's 10 ilvl over the minimum for queuing so you should be fine with it.

at 90, the first thing I do is queue for the Arena scenario and get my free 450 weapon.
also I make sure at 87 my engineer makes a Ghost Iron Dragonling (with spec appropriate cogs, ilvl 450) for all my other characters.
You could consider using some PVP gear to bump up your ilvl but don't over do it as the stats aren't really good for PvE.
