Just stay in your dps or tank spec and if they ask you to heal lie and say you dont have the gear/spec.

Haha, on my paladin (Dual Ret/Prot), I get asked to heal all the time. Lately people have started harassing me and ignoring if they randomly ask me to heal and I say I don't have a heal spec...
Apparently, being a paladin without a Holy spec/gearset is an unacceptable fail.

Just tell them your not gonna heal. My stand on the game is i am the one paying $15 a month you play how you want so unless you want to pay my $15 a month and a hourly wage i am gonna do whatever the !@#$ i want.
You have 0 obligation to heal for pugs. Same goes for Guilds any guild that tells you what spec you need to be is a bad guild.

I've never understood why people assume "that class has one healing spec, out of the three or four possible specs, that must mean this is a healer".
It's not so much that they expect you to have a healing spec, but in those desperate moments when the last role you need for your group to get going is a healer and there is absolutely not a single one checked in LFG, you "/who class-with-healing-tree" and cross your fingers hoping you whisper someone who is willing to heal that wasn't particularly looking to group.
However, that's what I've had to do in my experiences (mostly with tanks since I'm usually the healer). I'm not talking about those jerks who DO expect any class with a healing tree to actually be a healer. For instance, the whispers that go:
whispers you: Can you heal H Oculus?
You reply: I'm not spec'd in Resto.
whispers you: You fail at ur class, n00b. GTFO.
You reply: Huh?
is ignoring you.
People like that need to be shot. But if they're nice about asking, don't fault them.

I keep an offset that I've collected, even if I'm not actively specced, and often if someone is really nice asking, I'll respec to Holy to heal for them....
But the people that are rude about it can just keep sitting in LFM.

Ever find that half the time, the jerk in question is playing a class that has a healing tree? Hipocrites are funny.
Sad but absolutely true.

Whenever you get asked to heal say you want first priority over healing and dps drops for your class.
I do this for raids I put together with my buddies, if your main set is DPS but we need a healer, I'll let you roll on both.
It doesn't happen much to me. My Druid was never Resto, but usually I got "u heel?" or some variant, and when I said "<--- Balance" I usually either got no response or a "kk".

Thats why I rolled Ret/Prot.
I keep a healing set I hope on expanding it, but first I need to get my tank set all the way awesomed out :D, but if they ask me to heal I say "Nope but feel free to ask me to tank."
Its nice to be a fast typer so when people #$^$ you out for not being a healer you can respond quickly "You have anger issues" then hit ignore...
