Since you're only healing heroic Megaera, I would suggest going for the 7163 haste cap. You'll get an extra tick on your healing rain. I would do this for reforging priority:
Spirit > 7163 Haste > 50% Mastery > Crit => Haste
I like Crit over Haste for 10mans. If you're 2 healing, you'll be doing a lot of single target heals, and that's where I like the crit. You also get mana returned back when you crit because of Resurgence.
I wouldn't use Glyph of Riptide. If you're gonna try and blanket the raid with Riptide, it isn't going to work well. The mana costs are really high. You'll be OOM before you know it. I would swap it out for Glyph of Totemic Recall. You say you only have about 10k spirit. That's not bad, but I'm running with about 12k and I'm not entirely comfortable. Have Healing Stream Totem down always, pretty much on CD. If you have your 2pc, it's great. When your totem is about to expire (16-17 seconds left on cooldown), use totemic recall. It will give you back the full mana cost of the totem. Don't recall your totem if you have your Fire/Earth Elemental or Stormlash Totem out, those will be gone as well. Only use Totemic Recall if it's just Healing Stream Totem. If you're in a tough spot, you could use Totemic Recall right as your Elemental is about to despawn. It is a lot more mana efficient compared to telluric currents.
When healing rampages, always have Healing Rain down and chain heal. If you aren't using Healing Tide Totem, try and save Healing Stream Totem for the rampages. Healing Rain and Chain Heal are pretty expensive, so make sure you're using Totemic Recall.
The only other suggestion I'd make is to change out Totemic Projection for Call of the Elements. If you're in a tough spot and your Healing Stream Totem just went down, use Call of the Elements and put it down again. It also helps for mana, since you get to recall twice.
Good luck!
