Overhealing changed with different expansions. People like to have the lowest overheal simply because it means you were efficient, however most people i see gloating about low overheal is usually lowest on healing done anyway.
Druids are amazingly low over healers simply because as 100% HP, their HoT's to not tick. A priest the other hand, can cast CoH on a group. 2 of those targets would have 100% of that heal yet the other 3 targets the smart target chosses might only have a 2% health deficit. Meaning most of that is overhealing, which leans towards the fact that maybe coh wasn't the best option.
Discipline priests in 3.0 were amazingly efficient healers and to date still are due to mitigation however, with the changes to DA the majority choose to overheal just to give that mitigation.
Overhealing can be very misleading. But in general, it shows how efficient your healing is.
(But try not to care too much, if your raid survives and you have done a shed load of overall healing, over heals don't matter)

I used to use this stat a fair bit to justify my competency at healing. However in the end, I don't think it really matters. Sometimes with latency you will overheal quite a bit in a raid - because someone beat you to the heal by a millisecond. Depending on the group and the other healers in the raid, a priest could overheal quite easily because you rely on longer cast times for bigger heals. Others using addons can manage healing in a team quite well (healbot for example). And if not all members have the addon then they don't work so well. As i said, there are many factors that account for overhealing that can't be easily controlled.
In the end, so long as you get through the encounter with everyone alive and you haven't run out of mana in the first minute because of spam healing, then all is good.

You're an idiot. Dig deeper.
End Transmission.
Thanks, but I've got you figured out.
Okay guys enough mud slinging. Ig, you have single-handedly turned our forum into a string of urinating contests. I'm getting pretty sick of it to be quite honest. Despite honest attempts at turning conversations civil by myself and Karl, it looks like these forums are going to crap. Please guys, grow up and have civil conversation or GTFO.
We aren't being productive here anymore. If you notice, This thread turned to 100% useless cack fighting once you started responding to other peoples' responses because you respond in such an offensive and pugnacious way that you tick people off. You're poisoning our forums, please stop.
Again, I'm going to ask you politely, just stop and read what you write, think about it, and ask yourself if you're offending anybody before you spew it out.

as for the post,
if you find yourself running oom, then check your overheals. Priests have the most varied range of healing spells availble and knowing the correct time and place to use them is esstential.
Overhealing can come from having a high ping. Clicking theheal button 0.2 secs slower than any other healer can cause you to overheal as well.
Blizzard have stated that when tanks have over 50% avoidance, they should be getting hit twice as hard - there are going to be times when overhealing is the best choice as it ensures your target lives.
If you really want to compare meters then make sure you compare yourself with another healer that is the same class, healing the same targets (tank/raid/special), similar gear levels and similar ping levels

Overhealing happens. ;-)
As a rule of thumb: If you don't run out of mana and your assignements do not die, your overhealing does not matter.
Side note: A druids overheal is not accurate. Hot's ticking at full health do not show in the combat log, true. But that does not mean that part of the mana used to cast the HoT spell is not wasted this way. Yes, I know, that's not the point with Hots, they should be cast in a pro-active way, but I just wanted to mention it. :-P
Overhealing is generally tied very closely to the healing role (tank, raid, etc...) that you will perform. So, if you evaluate overhealing, take class and a role/assignement into account. Many classes have talents that make them benefit from letting a heal land regardless of the target(s) being topped of.
PS: A raid with only healers that produce 0% overhealing is going to wipe during the first 30 seconds of nearly any encounter. ^^
