I'm looking at tweaking my spec (again) for pure raid healing...This is what I have come up with:
http://www.wowarmory.com/talent-calc.xml?cid=5&tal=0503203100000000000000000000235500032002152530005311351000000000000000000000000000 (http://www.wowarmory.com/talent-calc.xml?cid=5&tal=0503203100000000000000000000235500032002152530005311351000000000000000000000000000)
Thoughts? yes, I dropped lightwell (I might pick it up again, not sure...I never really had a chance to use it either). Moved some points out of Divine Fury and Improved Healing since I find I'm not using GHeal hardly at all (unless I'm doing 10m naxx or something and I'm assigned to a tank, I'll drop a GHeal with 3x Serendipity).
I'm picking up Spell Warding, and Test of Faith. I fell like Test of Faith is an overlooked talent and I believe it can be very powerful. I dropped Empowered Renew back to 1/3 so I can just use it to get Surge of Light Procs. Even when I was 3/3 renew, 3/3 Emp Renew, I still never glyphed for it.
Glyphs will still be Flash Heal, Circle of Healing, and Guardian Spirit for majors.
The only part I fear is being sub-par now with single target healing, albeit holy spec isn't great for that to begin with but I want to try and improve my raid healing more. Maybe I will just have to change my offspec back to Disc for those times when it's a 2healer 10man and we both are raid healers.
Were I to go to holy, I'd probably go with something like the following:

I realize you might not be using GHeal much now, but as you start to spend more time in Ulduar, I think you will find it quite helpful. Especially with Serendipity, once you get 3 stacks, it should have about the same casting time as a flash heal. There will be times, I would think, where you'll be thankful you can hit a raid member with a GHeal.
As for Spell Warding, I think it's a really cool talent, I've considered grabbing it myself. However, I think, for PvE, it's real value is going to come into play for Hard Mode attempts, not so much for regular boss modes. But that could just be a style preference.
I dropped healing focus awhile ago and I've never missed it, I think it's more of a PvP talent now.
Thanks for the tips ! I've been running a few weeks now without healing focus and I haven't missed it, but I still do notice the pushback (more so healing myself through a mob beating on me while I try to get it back to the tank or the tank gets it off me). DP would more then make up for that I think.
Not having the Ulduar experience makes me think that spell warding might come in handy, but if it's not worth the 5pts until hard modes then I won't bother. I think I'll give your spec a go after I get home tonight and see how that works out.
Maybe move one point out of Empowered Healing to get Inner Focus back?
