I was wondering how viable is it to run a 2 healer ten man setup for both normals and heroic firelands. Just trying to get a feel if I can run a viable 2 healer raid comp for both and what healers would be the best to do it with. If it's even possible I was thinking Holy Priest/Holy Pally. Anyone out there running 2 Healer 10 mans or is it straight up 3 heals and you can't do anything else with it?
It's gear reliant, imo. If the healers have a lot of t11 then it may not be possible on some if not most fights. Also, take into account the skill of the actual healers too.
Going off topic a bit, I'd suggest replacing a melee dps, maybe the enhance shaman, with a mage or bommkin because your group is a bit melee heavy and good mages and boomkins bring a lot of utility. But that's just me if you have your group set up and everyone is skilled then I wouldn't worry about it too much

For some heroic fights, the easiest way to do them (at current gear levels) is to 2-heal, e.g. Rhyolith, Baleroc. For other heroic fights, it might be near impossible.
Just get a 3rd healer with a dps offspec or something.
As mentioned before, some fights really are not 2 healable. We did Rhyolith hc with a holy pally and a disc priest, trying Baleroc hc right now with the same healers. I would suggest your holy priest to consider a discipline spec, as this raid tier is all about having the right raid cooldowns and disc priest just offers far more than a holy priest.
