Your glyphs would be good if you were raid healing. Instead, consider the LHW and Riptide glyphs - these will let you maximize the effects of LHW spam on the tank.
The Glyph of Riptide is an extra 6 second duration. With this, you should be able to keep RTs up on any two people (presumably the tank and one other, depending on incoming damage). Bounce your chain heals off those guys for the increased healing benefit.
If someone gets charged by a mob that is otherwise solidly latched onto the tank, generally you can just throw Riptide on them to get them back up.
Make good use of Tidal Waves. After a Chain Heal, your next two LHWs have +25% crit chance.
Hopefully this helps.

Great advice all around. Also make sure that you learned from your class trainer all the current ranks of newly talented spells (ie Earth Shield, Riptide, etc). This is easy to overlook when buying the dual-spec specialization for the first time. I suggest when healing to start things off with Riptide. Doing so will accomplish 2 things: It will proc Tidal Waves (next 2 heals bonus effected--LHW increased chance to crit, HW increased cast time), and while Riptide is still on the target, increase the amount healed from Chain Heal. Tidal Waves also procs off of Chain Heal so keep that in mind.
Like mentioned above, if you are not glyphed for LHW then casting that spell on the tank is a poor choice. I strongly suggest getting that glyph. For the other glyph slot, I suggest Earth Shield or Riptide until you are lvl 80.
Remember for Shaman healing, its all about pulling off the right combos and knowing what spells come best after other spells. It may take a little time to get used to, but its not hard to learn. Once you learn their synergy, you'll be rocking the heals! Good luck.

I am hoping to not thread cap but with what he is asking someone correct me here but I think that riptide is amazing when you bang a chain heal on it. Does it or would it be good without lhw glyph and having es and rip on the tank and then hit them with LHW?
I usually do crowd healing and just have es on the tank. So what is the best for tank healing in emergency, rip and chain maybe followed with ?
