Flash Heal is going to be THE primary spell you will be using in MC, period. Well somtimes you will want to use a Prayer of Healing, or an occasional Renew, but almost never Greater Heal. Your Manasave will cancel the spell before it takes effect as other healers will not allow to let someones health drop so low, that Greater Heal becomes effective. It's just to risky.
So you are left with two options: disable Manasave and therefore heal inefficently as you will most times greatly overheal, or leave Manasave enabled and have most of your heals canceled. In any way, you will not make the most out of your healing/mana potential.
Look at the priest: the most distinctive spells the priest has over e.g. restoration specced druids are Flash Heal and Prayer of Healing. When it comes to powerful but slow heals the restoration specced druid is about equal and concerning HoTs even better than a priest.
Raiding is basically an execercise in specialisation. You will be asked to do what you are best suited to. For priests that is flash healing and group healing through prayer of healing as well as dispelling of course.
In IFFHDS we always mix priests with druids for MT healing. So we get the strong HoTs of druÃds and the fast Flash Heals of priests combined. Priests also take care of healing the ranged damage dealers, as those often require shielding (especially these fragile mages) and when they get hit, it is often through some kind of AoE so that the entire group takes damage, which makes Prayer of Healing especially useful. Rogues are often healed by restoration specced shamans, as well as priests.
Greater Heal: void of any use past Sunken Temple :P
