Holy Light, unless I'm stacking Meteorite Crystal, noboy is below 90% health, am moving with the Infusion of Light buff, or am near OOM (which is usually me forgetting cooldowns).

I personally think of healing as making a stew. I add some flavor with SS, throw some FoL (glyphed with seal of light of course) and keep watching it. When needed I drop some B(e)acon of light in there. Then when it gets hot i throw some Holy Light's in the mix to keep it from burning. This is how I make the prefect healing stew. It may be just me, but that analogy holds true for almost every situation you can encounter. Unless your hearts set on holy light spam, then you should pop DP every CD glyph wisdom and pop wings if needed with a DP (if the 50% reduction will absolutely not work for the situation)
The stew analogy fits well with pally healing. Nice one Blue.
Personally, I've kept both tanks up just fine just doing FoL spam with HS mixed in and Holy Light when things start to turn sour. I'll list what I normally do for different encounters.
25 Man VoA
Koralon - Usually assigned to MT and OT. Beacon MT and spam FoL with HS (only when needed) on the OT. I spam FoL on the raid when he does his flame whirl, I know how to switch targets very quickly so I've never lost a tank on Koralon.
Emalon - Same as Koralon
Archavon - I've solo healed it (Tanks and Raid) before, just did it on Wednesday. At this point, he is easysauce so this isn't really special.
10 Man ToC
Gormok: Beacon one tank, FoL (HS) spam on the other, occasionally throwing a FoL at someone who just got firebombed since other healing classes can't fire off a heal as quickly.
Dreadscale & Acidmaw: Beacon one Dreadscale tank and spam FoL and use HS when needed on the Acidmaw tank. When Dreadscale dies I'm ready to use HL when needed, otherwise it's the usual.
Icehowl: lolwut? Beacon tank and raid heal, popping Aura Mastery with Frost Resist Aura up if too many people get hit with the frost breath. If your not quick, you'll lose people as he tends to do his AoE stomp/stun right after and it hits for about 8-11k damage to the entire raid.
Jaraxxus: FoL and HS spam with Beacon on the MT, I'm usually ready to swap out to the Libram of Renewal as I find myself using HL a bit more here. I end up raid healing a lot here to give our priests/shammys some breathing room.
Faction Champions: The only fight I've seen in a long time that actually requires HL spam. Beacon and SS myself and tell my raid to not die. lol
Twin Val'kyr: lolwut? Beacon one tank and raid heal, healing the other tank when he actually takes damage.
Anub'arak: lolwut? Beacon tank and raid heal, occassionally healing the OT when he actually gets hit. The Leeching Swarm tricks me out a lot though, since it's very counter-intuitive for healers who are used to keeping everyone at full.
Everyone's style is different. This might work for me, but not others. I do stop cast when I know I need to use HL for a change, but it is rare.

I spam Holy Light on Koralon and rape the meters. I pull about 7k HPS. Without going OOM. So no, don't spam Flash of Light.
QFT
I can keep the tanks up with FoL spam.... but why?
If you can output the crazy healing from HL.. why wouldn't you?

Sounds like sarcasm, but I'll state the obvious anyway.
Because it's a freaking waste of mana that could be used in case it is actually needed... you know, when tanks really are getting ROFLSTOMPED in hard mode content. Would you spam HL during General Vezax just because you can? You sure as hell wouldn't be doing it in hard mode. I top meters without having to spam HL, but I will state this again,
healing meters do not mean *!@# except for the purposes of seeing who is not performing up to par as an officer
.
To the OP: It's personal preference. Someone people like to go OOM just for fun and wipe raids like this guy, some of us actually know how to manage mana.

Hey tard, I said if you can.
If you go OOM, don't. (didn't think i needed to spell that out. That's what I get for assuming people have brains.)

You've successfully achieved ad hominem. Grats for contributing nothing to this thread.

Edit: why do i let trolls suck me in......
To OP.
If you can spam HL the entire fight... do so.
You won't need to cover for other healers since, if you are spamming HL, it wont matter much what the other heals are doing.
If not, then there is a nice way to use FoL more... but since you want to know what to "spam" there ya go.

Gonj!
Heal me!
Anyways, healing is fluid. From what I've seen, although my pally is my third raider so I don't use him often, it's tough to use a set rotation or spamming. If you're on Tank Healing duty, make sure to keep him up, but why use a HL if FoL would work? I'm not concerned about topping the charts as long as I keep my tank alive.
Just my two cents!
P.S. Gonj...I love you.
