Alternate Specs/Glyphs: I try to remember to switch between Holy Prism and Light's Hammer. But sometimes I forget, like Mageara this week, gah.

Questions, concerns, expectations: We have another Holy Paladin who's got a lot more experience than I do. He also is still using T14 4piece. I can't touch his numbers(yes, I know numbers arent everything). But I feel like Im doing something fundamentally wrong. I want(expect!) to be doing better, but perhaps I am doing ok for my first tier of raid experience healing on a paladin.
Description of Playstyle: I usually keep 1 tank beaconed the whole fight. I'm not entirely comfortable swapping midfight yet. I usually only toss an Eternal Flame on each tank and sometimes myself pre-pull. Then I use Holy Shock to build Holy Power, then my main heal is Holy Radiance. I do try to EF many people when the raid damage isnt too high, but mainly just make sure the tanks and myself have EF as much as possible. HR is basically my filler/spam heal. I try to keep Holy Shock on CD but this is one thing I am still working on. I am not good at using Holy Prism as I get a bit tunnely when health bars start going the wrong way. I also need to work on my Light's Hammer usage, as most fights dont have a clear stack time to use it. Am I totally crazy for healing this way? Is there a better way? I really feel like I am not doing as well as I should, for my gear.
Your Holy Shock usage definitely needs some work, I personally recommend using WeakAuras and something like I have:

This should help you get as close to perfect usage as you can get by shoving it right in your face (it sits just below the default DBM timer location)
As far as difference between you and the other Paladin, hes getting a lot more usage out of Light of Dawn which suggests to me hes playing a more reactionary style (aka, hes reacting to what the raid needs) which ultimately will actually diminish his numbers if you just sit there EF spamming at 1-2 HP, its up to you if you like the EF style and if it works for your raid thats fine (I personally run with me doing the reactionary style and our 2nd best healer doing EF spam, and we come within 0.2% of each other almost every boss, so it really is personal preference)
I'm only going to say analysis for Mega now (because I'm too lazy to do this for more fights) but with regards to the differences, he was low enough mana to get Hymn of Hope which suggests to me that hes burning his mana a lot harder than you are, so its no surprise hes so far ahead of you, neither of you have brilliant gear so theres not a huge disparity between you short of the T14 difference, I'd say you should be able to get 80-90% of his healing, but if you ever beat him in his current state its because hes done something wrong, unfortunately other than Holy Shock, the biggest glaring issue for you is cooldown usage (so similar to Holy Shock) if you work on those together you should become much more competitive, I recommend getting some mods installed to help you track this, could be using WeakAuras, could be NeedtoKnow or any of the plethora of other mods out there, but slap what ever your favourite is together and get it working, then power through some LFRs making sure every time theres a burst of damage you use a cooldown for it, even if you don't need to (with it being LFR) just make sure you are, and that will help you figure out fights better, for instance on Tortos as an example, you can use BoP Wings > Bubble DF > BoP > GotAK etc.
Also as a final note, using Light's Hammer is quite easy in 25 man, just throw it on the melee pack if theres no chance you'll need it soon, otherwise save it for obvious phases of high damage depending on the fight, Holy Prism is much easier to use though
