I think only around lvl 75+ (mindsear) that you *sometimes* start to have better dps as shadow. SOunds odd, is not so odd once you realise that shadow is a dotclass, and generally everything in LFD is so fragile it dies very soon. Disc is a very good burstclass, so its higher dps.
I would state very clearly at the start of a run that you dps as disc healer since that is higher dps, and that people have to allow the extra healing. Or, queue as healer only - that should not lower your queues too much. But anything else that happened to you is simply people misunderstanding the situation.
