Un-efficient healing

[RNGesus]

Hello, so I'm probably being noobish. I'm well aware of that, but here's my problem: I'm doing MOP dungeons, I'm 88 atm... and I can't seem to keep my team alive. one moment they're all full, I'm just healing the tank with prayer of mending and renew to keep him full but at the same time not waste mana, and then all of the sudden 3 players are at 10% hp.. I can barely heal one of them back to health, let alone all three... and so at least one of them dies. This feels like I'm very bad at healing...

I can spam the prayer that heals all but then I get drained of mana and the boss has like 70% hp.

I'm thinking of trying disc priest instead.

What do you guys say ?

It's not 100% your fault.If it happens on every boss,it 's probably you,but if not,many people don't know the scripts if it's their first char or they just don't care about mechanics because they want to get more dps or a chill leveling.
Use renew on more players,not just the tank to prevent damage.
The most important thing you should know is to not try to heal big amounts of damage without poping a cd.You'll drain your mana and players may still die.
There are also some players who keeps their cds forever even if it's a sustained healing encounter.
If you have at least some basic ideas about the bosses,you should know when to use cds.
Yes,disc may be better for dungeons because you can spam damage to conserve your mana and also heal low amounts of damage+shield and ps for tank.

For non-90 lvl dungeons i'd recommend playing disc,it's way better than holy in my opinion.I find atonement really overpowered,you should definitely try it out.

i say that if that happens most likely its not your fault. sometimes dps dont give a damn about tactics and will just hope you do the spam heal.

when that situation happens use Inner focus power infusion, aoe heal, bubble casters, spam smite so u heal the team.

ps: dont be afraid to use flash heal on those situations. worrying about mana can actually bring a wipe
