hello everyone,
My main problem is getting op by other healer classes in raids. When we do raids (10 or 25), my healing done in Recount is always at the bottom. First of all, here is my armory link:
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Shadowsong&n=Soza
My glyphs are Lesser Healing Wave, Chain Heal and Water Mastery.
My rotation is ES the MT, Riptide before pull, then spam lhw or ch according to situation. and ofc i put my totems, Flametongue, Healing stream and Wrath of Air.
anyway, no matter what i do i can't beat other healer classes (Druid, Pally and Priest)
i use Xperl, Clique combo, i tried Grid but dont like it. I also tried Healbot, i like it very much but it covers so much space on my screen.
do you have any suggestions where my problem lays it down ? my haste, my crit (wowarmory shows %11, in real it's %21) or any other thing i can't think of ? i read elitistjerks and wowhead forums, i try to do everything by the book.
Sorry for this long post but i'd be appreciate any suggestions and feedbacks.

When dealing with meters,
1) yeah, numbers don't "matter" but if you're doing like half the top healer's numbers, that could indicate something.
2) I tend to look at HPS rather than total healing done since chain heal is smart and you'll be fairly low overheal.
3) Pallies will always win for flat out healing done (as all their heals are doubled, and even chain heal doesn't double a HW) because of Bacon, and will be the top of the overheal list. Druids will be lowest on overheal because HoT's can't overheal... you'll tend to have the same spot on the meter as a druid, Priests are hard to gauge because shields aren't counted towards their healing, they will tend to be the bottom of the meter, especially if they're discipline.
And as has been said, if you don't wipe, don't worry about it. If you don't oom, don't worry about it. Basically both of those have to happen before you look at your gear. Changing strategies can pump up higher HPS or focus HPS on specific targets, so it's only ooming that ends up causing problems.

Thank you so much for your replies. At glyph side, i was thinking change Water Mastery to Earth Shield one and i'll do it.
My Chain Heal is 2.23 sec, Lhw is something like 1.23, do you think i need more haste to speed up my casts ?
And lastly, where can i check overhealing and hps in Recount ? :) i know i'm noob for that addon, i tend to use check my Dps on my rogue :)

We might have different versions, but type "/recount show" in chat, and keep pressing on of the arrows at the top of the bar, your find the page you want eventually.
Or right-click the red bar at the top of the recount window and you should get a menu of the different pages.
It's already been said, but if everyone lives through the pulls, you're probably doing your job.
I tend to be at the top of the healing meters on my shammie, simply because we swap assignments through the course of the run. I'm combining MT/OT and raid healing over the whole four hour session. I'm also usually flirting with the top of the overhealing meter...oops :)
Just double check that you're not doing significantly less healing than the healers you run with, because that would indicate a problem. Your gear looks good though, and it sounds like you're doing everything right, so...don't worry about it.

I would significantly disagree with this.

If you want to get your meter numbers up, get glyph of healing stream totem and keep it up, and maybe Earth shield glyph too, because this will heal the second damage is taken, and so is very rarely overheal.
While running with similarly geared healers in my guild i'm normally first or second on the meters, but it doesn't vary much between all the healers, but yes, the pally healer is always first if she's there (she's similarly geared).
Oh, another meter-padding (not necessarily good) thing you could do is use riptide on every CD, because it won't over heal when you use it in general.

I get Earth Shield glyph instead of Water Mastery ;) Healing Stream looks fine but you know it's only group wide not raid, so i'm still thinking is it worth.
Gearwise, i checked all other guild healers, 1 pally and 1 priest have 4 T7.5 pieces and rest of their gear is from heroic raids. Another 2 priests have 2-3 pieces of T7.5 and again heroic and even some Uduar pieces. So they op me already with their gear.
For riptide, yes i always throw it someone (mostly MT or OT) when it's cooldown off.
Thank you again all of you for your suggestions and feedbacks.
