If you focus on Holy talents and gear that will help you heal can a paly be a primary healer for 5 man groups?

I've never seen a paladin who could heal as well as a druid. A druid heals as well as a priest in most cases.
I've played my druid in BRD and DM (as the tank) with only a paladin healing. In both cases the pally put Blessing of Light on me and spammed his low mana cost heal (the name of which escapes me at the moment). It worked fine. The paladin was able to keep me and the rest of the group alive. In the case of the BRD run I don't think the paladin had ever before cast a heal on anyone but himself. It took a few pulls before he got some confidence in his abilities --- after that it went fine.
I'm not sure this would work well in a 5-man Strat or Scholo, but lots more is possible in this game than many people seem to think.
