Usually gets the job done without overhealing, if the tank doesn't get flash healed beforehand.
If I'm the assigned healer on a tank, I'll drop a Regrowth, then chain-cast Healing Touches, relying on them to be interrupted if the tank doesn't need the heal. It's a lot safer than waiting until they're significantly hurt and then starting a big healing touch.

No no no. I only use top rank healing touch (rank 10) when I'm healing a tank and not even all the time then. I wasn't clear. I have ranks 6-10 on my bar. I have 3 ranks of regrowth as well since a crit from a top rank regrowth front end will waste the HoT on many people so if it isn't being used as an emergency this person needs a heal on them right now or going to die spell I use a lower rank as my this person needs some front load and I can forget about them spell.
Rank 10 was used last night when healing Anadrol (7K buffed HP and with a crit it's only healkin 3.5K I'm not wasting healing with that on him or letting him get to dangerous levels because of his pool) because I was the only one casting on him when I was healing him and the damage was very steady and predictable. If I was healing him Onan was regening mana so no chance of a heal messing up mine. I used Rank 8 and 9 when I was healing Seiki with Alamanda since the dogs by Golemag didn't do steady damage like the elites by domo do and like Sulfuron did so like you said it was safer. If I heal anyone else I don't even think about top rank unless I know how the damage is coming in.
If we are FFA healing it's usually rank 7 or 8 for a tank and rank 6 or 7 for others just like you.
Sorry if that wasn't clear in this post. Since I've posted how I heal with my druid several times I assumed people understood. My druid played healer most of her career because I was the only healer in the level range. Most of the time I was the only person in the 5 man that could even cast a heal spell and people didn't die. I know how to heal and how to save mana. That was the whole perspective on the talents.
