I recently started my first real healer (shammy).  When I do LFR or flex 
with another shammy healer I whisper him/her to keep up Earth Shield and 
Riptide on the other tank.  So I have almost always have one tank 
targeted and I just spam aoe chain heals which jumps from the tank to 
four other players.  LFRs are so easy to heal so I also dps now and 
then.  I really dont care about overhealing in LFRs. :)
World bosses is the same.  Just be sure to keep the tanks alive, throw 
some aoe heals on tanks or melees now and then, heal up a dps if low on 
hp and everything should be fine.  5-8 other healers in that raid 
usually follows the same healing strategy.
Save your big badaboom healing spells for special circumstances like 
Swelling Pride on Sha of Pride, last phase on Galakras etc..

Dont worry about casting useless heals.  Sometimes your heals hits the 
target first too.  If you see your target gets healed up while youre 
casting a heal be sure to cancel your heal so you dont waste mana.  The 
cast bar doesnt ruin the 5 sec rule if you stop it before you actually 
throw your heal == a little extra mana regen (if you feel youre running 
low).

My advice.  Do loads of LFRs so you get the feeling of your priest 
healing.  There are usually at least 2 experienced healers in a LFR raid 
that just farms runes/titans/whatever for the legendary cloak so the 
overall healing wont fail anyway.  So dont worry about your eventually 
low healing.  You just need to get the grip on your char's abilities. :)
