This is a stupid question. Every single healer have tools to make them interesting in raids. A lot of 25 raids will include every healer.

Asking which Healer is the best is like asking what the best colour is, it's based on opinion.

OP needs to be banned. One of, if not the most, retarded questions still seen on every board.
IBTL.

they all fill a different role, and the best healer will depend heavily on the situation.
I wish this weren't so much the case, actually.
I remember how much I regretted having a warrior tank as my main in TBC because warrior tanks were the "single-target vs heavy-hitting boss" tank and wasn't wanted much while the paladin's "AoE threat for days" tanking was in heavy demand (for good reason, pulls in TBC were enormous at times).
I like the current tanking situation (generally balanced but still allowing for unique abilities and strategies) and hope Blizzard will do something similar for healing. My holy paladin doesn't get to sit at the cool kid's table for 5-mans while leveling.

I disagree. Beacon of Light is, imo, a very poor way to keep AoE heals on groups in 5-mans with everyone taking damage. It hasn't been too much trouble so far; I only had issues with the group setting off multiple Shadowmoon Technician's
Proximity Bombs
in Blood Furnace and once against Dalronn and Skarvald in Utgarde Keep (though that was because I was trying to heal while undergeared at Lvl68).
They've said BoL will get a buff in 3.2, healing for the
intended
amount instead of the
actual
amount, which will certainly help, but that doesn't change the fact that when I'm invited to a PuG, it's not uncommon to see things like, "Pally healer? Well, not my preferred choice, but guess we might as well try," without having grouped with me before.

The opinions of random idiots does not reflect the actual state of anything. Since WotLK there have been absolutely ZERO instances that paladins can't
easily
handle as a healer. It's getting better next patch in a lot of ways, in terms of versatility. However, we're totally fine right now in every 5-man heroic.
Edit: Get Glyph of Holy Light for goodness sakes.
