2) Icy Veins is good for a beginner's guide, but MW healing is complex enough that the guide doesn't hit on some critical points. It states that spirit is your #1 secondary stat, which is true only until you reach a comfortable level. For use, that's roughly 7000 spirit. Some get by with as low as 5k, and I've seen others stack as much as 14k but I think that's excessive. Other healing classes tend to cram as much spirit as possible, but with crit regen and Mana Tea you should have no trouble at all with mana management at between 7000 and 8000.
3) We can tell you nothing about your performance without a raid log. To give you the basics, always keep ReM on cooldown, and smack the boss as much as you can. We do our best healing in melee range, where our ranged heals can hit casters and we are still able to melee the moss for Eminence heals. You say you need time to build AoE healing, and I'm not sure why you think that. In a 10-man raid your ReM should be spreading to 5-6 people at all times so you can use Uplift often. Learn the bosses well enough that you can find the optimal times to use Thunder Focus Tea. Learn which bosses you need to change out glyphs and talents (Chi Burst or Chi Wave? Xuen or Chi Torpedo? While we're on the subject, RJW is a pile of spinning crap and no MW should use it) and when you use them for optimal throughput.
4) Learn to use AskMrRobot.com. Bring up your profile, and click "Edit Weights." Select 6141 haste breakpoint, and set your total effective spirit to 10000. With those settings you can get a comfortable amount of spirit, reach 6141 haste, and have nearly 28% crit.
5) Learn when you need to focus on raid healing and when you need to switch to single-target. During moments of low raid-wide damage, melee the boss and maintain Serpent's Zeal and Tiger Power. Keep ReM on cooldown. Always. No excuses. Use Expel Harm as needed, usually all the time. Uplift as needed to spend chi and build mana tea stacks. Keep Chi Wave on cooldown if you're using it. When anticipating high raid damage, use TFT to renew and spread your ReM's. When high raid damage comes use Uplift more often, Chi Burst, and Torpedo through the group when stacked.
