true, paladins provide other things such as lay of hands, beacon of light but my comment is strictly about heals. the non direct heal things make a discussion much more complicated and every class provides there own non direct buffs so for the purpose of this discussion i didnt include them. but you do prove a point.
That is exactly my point. Just comparing healing spells is not an accurate comparasim. It would be like comparing PC's vs Mac's, but not including the operating system in the discussion. Or something CRAZY like that.
btw, macs suck!

I'd debate Priest or Druid if you're looking for a true healing class. Paladins are definitely solid healers but they are better at single target healing when it comes to end game raiding. But if end game isn't a concern I'd go with what you like because they can all handle a single group through level 80.

I would say go priest because they can heal anything that means tank heals, raid heals, group heals,we have a heal over time, The unique preventing damage with our shield or shields as disc, and lots of unique things like Power infusion, Inner focus, lightwell, hymn of hope(will be nicer next patch),pain suppression, guardian spirit...etc I love the my priest there's plenty of buttons to heal with its a little more complex but that’s what I like:)
Our buffs are Power:Word:Fortitude ,Divine spirit(for all priests next patch),Shadow Protection, Grace(if your disc),renewed hope(disc next patch), anyways we have some nice buffs everyone likes fort and renewed hope will be the same.
Not only that but you can specialize in two healing roles disc is better at damage prevention, more buffs, tank healing,and has better mana because of rapture next patch rapture will be nerfed quite a bit but we can just stack a little more spirit than before overall disc is a very fun spec and efficient spec its even more efficient next patch.
As holy your specialized in raid healing, bigger heals than disc, and gains more from spirit. oh and they can heal for 15 seconds when you die
I don't feel like counting our heals but I know there’s alot the best heals/buttons I think we have are
prayer of mending, circle of healing, penance for sure, Guardian spirit, Pain suppression, and Inner focus.
anyways go with what you want but I say go priest simply because its my fave class:)
Edit for a small bit of spelling

I got both a paladin and a priest and I healed with both of them. And I must say that I enjoy priest healing alot more then the paladin healing. I guese its just my personal preferance.
But paladins can bring more overall buffs to your party. BoW, BoM, BoK (next patch). Auras to fit the situation. Crusader aura that will make the travel faster on your mounts. And when it comes to things to use to help your healing get better paladins has about the same amount of tools really. 100% crit spell that i forgot what its called and the one that makes your spells cost 50% less mana for a time.
Disc has Pain surpressing that lowers damage, power infusion that can be used on yourself if *!@# hits the fan but will most likely go on a caster dps I guese. And inner focus.
Holy has Guardian angel and inner focus I guese.
So if you want alot of diffirent heals you can use depending on situation go with priest. But if you want buffs that will help improve all of your groups preformance other then just stamina and spirit. I'd say with pally.
In the end however. Go with the class that you think seems more fun.

Actually holy has lightwell, circle of healing, desperate prayer, and guardian spirit and disc has penance, power infusion, pain suppression, and inner focus. But holy can easily reach inner focus and disc can easily reach desperate prayer. Just to correct:) you can't forget penance it’s the best!
I hate my typing lol.
