Perfect talent spec, I have to admit it should have everything that you would need for Northrend instancing.

As Discipline, while levelling your mana pool would be a lot lower than usual, so try and keep the main tank shielded and use Prayer of Mending as much as possible, it's very effective and quite mana efficent. It's better not to cast it until second or two after the shield on the tank has broken, so that the 100 or so damage which could break the shield doesn't cause your ProM to bounce.

Use pre-casting and moving to stop casting so that you don't waste heals/mana. And remember to keep some water and don't be afraid to tell people to do their job, such as DPS interrupting the spells of the Spell-Flingers in Old Kingdom. If they continually stand in fire, and generally just don't do their job, drop them from your heal priority list. Too often you will try and heal everyone and not be able to heal anyone enough. Remember, prio goes Yourself, Tank (depending on group/personal preference) and then waaaaay lower, DPS. If one dies on a trash pack, you won't wipe. If the tank or healer does, you can.

Good advice above. Also, make sure people are remembering that they're not 80 in T10 gear, and they don't waaaaay overgear the place to just use a zerg strat. CC still counts for something (btw, casting a shackle on those Spell Flingers in OK will interrupt their cast).
