Druids heal the tanks, paladins heal the groups of people that have better FR and don't get priests with them. This is because the paladins give another 60 FR and the damage rates on those people are slow enough (thanks to the higher FR) that they can cycle Holy Light, a 2.5 second cast, through the group. The 1.5 second cast paladin heal is pointless. Most paladins are happy when it crits for over 900 damage on a target that has blessing of light up. It's not a heal, 600 damage healed is just something that might buy you enough time for someone else casting a real heal to get it to land when the next regular hit comes in. So you can heal for ~2400 damage every 2.5 seconds or ~1300 damage every 3 seconds (that is figuring about +300 healing and blessing of light on the target).

A crit for 900 with Flash of Light seems low to me. Tribade who is healing speced but still in some green usually crits closer to 1200. I just tested a few and saw only one crit below 1100 (with Blessing of Light). Flash of Light heals through Scholomance and Stratholme. I would hope that a paladin in MC and BWL equipment could do somewhat better.

For this encounter where mana is not an issue, maybe Holy Light is a better way to go.
