I am in the same boat as you. I am the heal lead for my guild, but due to the fact that I am the only healer we have with a RANGED DPS offspec, it makes it easier for me to switch than our other healers. Honestly, there are some 3 heal fights MSV still to come (we 3 heal Will of the Emperor) and so far we have 3 healed in Heart of Fear just fine (we are short dps sadly). My recommendation is to do what I did: START MAKING A 2ND SET. For those who claim that you can just reforge/ gem properly, they are completely wrong. Yes you can do this, but one set will always be vastly weaker than the other. I have two different sets altogether and since I am primarily Resto, what I end up doing is transitioning some of my Resto pieces over to Boomkin when I get upgrades. Yes, this isn't perfect either, as my Boomkin will always be behind my Resto set in gear, but Resto is my main spec and is priority.
So really, that is it. The only person that is going to tell you what your primary spec is going to be is you. You need to figure out which you WANT to do. Don't focus so much on your guild needs as much as your needs. If you get pigeon holed into a spec you don't want to play, you will burn yourself out, even if you are getting boss kills. You will start to resent playing the game. Honestly, I am like this. i don't want to dps, but I realize it is needed sometimes. But if I feel like I am dpsing more than I am healing, I will make arrangements for me to sit for a night OR for us to sit another healer in favor of dps.
So make a 2nd set of gear so that way you aren't hurting your raid by trying to do both with the same set and decide for yourself what you really want to do in raids then make the adjustments needed accordingly.
