Our mastery is decent if ur above 15% mastery but then ur slaughtering your gear with reforging, Ive socketed for all bonuses to get more spellpower, haste and spirit. my mana regen out of combat is a bit over 1k and around 580 in combat, unbuffed ofc.
Keep spamming Holy Shock and Holy light when ur just keeping tank up. use Divine Light when tank is taking heavy damage.
i think our last talent (the aoe cone heal) is pretty weak currently but it works in situations. crits for 5-6k without the glyph and around 4k crit with the glyph. in icc it might be a 7k crit heal which can be very usefull on some encounters but i dont think its nearly as good as efflorence or whatever it's called, the cooldown on our ability is just too long to matter.
As for throughput i find my heals really good.
-Holy light crits for up to 8k, at less than 500 mana cost that's very very nice.
-Divine light crits for 18-20k, at 1300 mana it's expensive but it's worth it.
-Flash of light crits for 14-16k, at 1200 mana per cast it's very expensive and u should avoid using it unless it's and emergency.
-Word of Glory crits above 10k with 3 stacks and u can basicly keep freecasting if you use beacon of light and spamming holy light on another target.
Biggest issue i find is trying to NOT overheal, yes wotlk spamming paladins is over, finally... gonna take couple days to get out of the habbit but once it's smooth it's going to be pure awesome, other healers have to pick up more tank healing but hey. fuck them we got nerfed to the ground, stomped on and then laughed at by blizzard... what'd u expect?
