The way that I've generally healed is to mostly focus on my own group when things are going smoothly with two expections: the main tank and AoE'ers. These are the guys that tend to use the most healing and can go down the quickest without it, so I watch them and throw heals on them regardless of whether they're in my group or not.
Usually, the healer in the main tank's group has a pretty good handle on things so I mostly leave it alone (unless I'm REALLY bored) and just throw a renew on every now and then or at the start of a battle.
As for AoE'ers, I primarily look out for the ones in my party but will occasionally throw a heal to a different one if it has aggro. I've had too many experiences where my healing was insufficient to keep up with damage dealt to an AoE character to be willing to let another priest go through that, if I can help it.
As for other characters, I usually leave them alone, though I'll occasionally throw on a renew if someone is starting to draw aggro or a flash heal if they've pulled everything off of the main tank. I usually don't pay that close of attention to Rogues, Hunters, and the like from other parties and, hence, pay closer attention to those in my party.
