An undergeared healer feels kinda gimp, they can't use all their tools because they don't have the mana too. Once you start getting up towards 359 gearing, it opens up a lot more in terms of style options. At lesser gearing, I doubt most healers could get away with as much rejuv as you use.
Like any role though, it takes a few times of seeing an encounter before you learn what needs to happen. TAC earth dude is a good example. It's a pretty extreme transition from raid damage to tank damage. As faceroll as normals are now, you can make mistakes there and still get through it fine, but we had our share of wipes there, especially because the tank damage is also dependent on how coordinated you are on the shield swap.
But the design of healing in Cata is such that healing can feel pretty sucky when you're gearing, but it honestly does get better once you have mana to use more than the basic heals.
