I would not use on cooldown. Use during times of AOE/ multi people below X health. You will use it a ton, but not on cooldown. I always pick a target that is farthest away from group to max HPS. See tool tip.
2. PoM. PoM is great in that it bounces to low health targets. So you can cast it on tank. Or if two people are dotted and standing near each other (think poison during the horridon fight, or frostbite during the council) toss it one of them and it'll bounce back and forth. Typically I choose two dotted people over a tank because a tank will generally have hots rolling already.
PoM is awesome. Make sure you have the talent that allows for proc's. During heavy AOE this can be amazing. I usually precast a few PoH to get it to proc before heavy AOE. The instant jumps are nice and heal for a ton
3. Circle of healing is smarter than chain heal. Just pick someone in the middle of a group that needs heals and cast it. It will pick the 5 lowest health in range, regardless of who you cast it on... as in I've cast it several times where the person I had targeted didn't get healed at all.
yup.
4. Yes PoH low health groups. Also it helps to have groups set up to be priest friendly... ie melee in one group and ranged in another. Remember your mastery leaves a HoT at all times, so don't heal to 100% otherwise you're sniping your own heals, and increasing your overhealing even more than it already is. (PoH is a good choice if 3 targets need a heal, but that means that the other two might be complete overhealing so you generally have high over heal numbers)
Yup
5. Lightwell, I drop it before the pull. It has a long cooldown and if someone gets below half health they need it anyway. The sooner you drop it, the sooner you can drop another.
Yup
6. Holy word sanc is not a great spell. It remains up for a reasonable amount of time, and most fights are stack then spread, so if you're going to use it, you probably want to drop it early, then cascade/pom/poh, otherwise people are going to run out of it before it runs out.
