It has less to do with gear score, and more to do with how good/bad of a player you are... can you heal well? Be honest... we won't make fun >:D
Yeah I am a very good healer. I have plenty of experience with this. It helps a lot if the tank is at least decent.

Not to derail your post, but ... why go to Naxx? I suppose you could have fun clearing the instance, but you can get fully geared enough to start in Ulduar or even ToC 10 simply by doing the heroic dailies and farming ToC Reg and Heroic.
Honestly, you're in FAR superior gear than I was in when I started healing Naxx. I was still wearing my old BC gear! (though admittedly I was in T5 level gear and almost every good gear drop out of ZA).
Don't let ANYBODY ever tell you that you're limited by your gear... even though you're limited by your gear. ;-)

I don't know, I just thought I needed better gear and I thought Naxx had very good drops. *shrugs*
I've already done like 20 reg ToC's and I'm not getting any new gear from there anymore, so ToC is out.
I don't know where to go next to get more gear upgrades so I figured I'd ask here. I am definitely not ready to do Ulduar, right? I hear that place is really tough even for tier9 geared players.
Should I do heroic ToC? That place is kind of tough on regular already, so I'm worried about doing heroic...
I wanna begin farming emblems already! :) I've already done a couple heroic dungeons and they went pretty well. The tanks were already geared well, though, so that made it easier on me.

Well Naxx drops iLVL 200 and 213 gear, and very few pieces are itemized very well. Here is where Heroic ToC comes in. Heroic ToC drops iLVL 219 gear, almost ALL of the pieces are EXTREMELY well itemized, making them practically equivalent to many iLVL 226 items! So for gear, Naxx is definitely not the way to go. I would farm heroics for Emblems of Conquest (though soon to be TRIUMPH) and purchase badge gear instead. This will quickly set you up to get into Ulduar and ToC 10.

I would say that your gear is a handicap going into the instance, though I could see you breezing through with an appropriate group up to the guardians fairly easily. Again, I would recommend you take the standard steps and go into Heroics for iLVL 226 gear from badges then start farming Onyxia and VoA regularly to get triumph badges. You can easily buy some 232 gear from the ToC vendors, especially with the upcoming 3.3 patch where all heroics will drop Triumph instead of Conquest! ToC Heroic can be challenging as well, but if you've got a relatively well geared group, it shouldn't be a problem!

Your gear looks fine, except the level 70 pieces. Get those replaced ASAP.

For some reason your stats seem real low.
Your fine for naxx but i would still suggest that you enchant/gem your gear.

Your gear is fine for Naxx, but it's not been enchanted or gemmed. Without them, you will probably struggle. Change your spec to something a little more similar to
this
, where some points are just acting as filler.

Well, I just tried to do H ToC today and that didn't turn out well at all. We barely made it past the first round (the one with 3). We got wiped out once. Managed to do it on second attempt.
After finishing off the triple priest-light-monk round (that part was easy enough), we got wiped out at the boss 3 times. That didn't work at all. My gear is not good enough to heal fast, and I go OOM even with a mana potion (I'm an alchemist).
Soooo I guess H ToC is more difficult than any other heroic dungeons. But I'm not getting any gear at all from any other dungeons so it's really frustrating.

Yes, H TOC is more difficult than any heroic dungeon.
But, its not always the Priests fault. If the tank is not up to the task, even the best Priest can fail. Or if DPS can't avoid standing in poison, you may fail, or ...
