Literally in Cata all I had to do was cast nourish (the cheap heal) every 7 seconds to keep up the mastery and LB, hotting the tank and using WG when on CD. That was it. At least now the mastery's duration got doubled so we have a little more room to maneuver. Nowadays you still have to keep hots up and LB on the tank, but there is less restriction on what else you can do.
Melee mistweavers have to keep up a buff, Druids keep up LB and mastery, Shamans have riptide to watch, Paladins have HS to use on CD (we lost our HR>HS>HR>LoD rotation finally) and priests, depending on your spec have different things to watch, but there is no set in stone rotation.
As for CD's, that depends on the situation and the fight. If you have a heavy healing phase, you need to have a CD ready, so you can't just always rotate them. Healing is very dependent on the fight, your group and your mana management. I fail to see how that is anything like a dps rotation.
