Help me suck less?

Hmm, Thanks a lot Adinne, I think I know how to improve a bit more now.

One more question while you're all here, though.

Do you have any tips as a healer/paladin for any of the fights? (Specifically the Ship and Spine for later tonight)
Or any suggestions for the best time to use your cool downs?

Oh and I was also wondering if you had any suggestions for mods, I am generally a vanilla type person but any edge I can get is worth trying.

@Oleander: I think you are looking at overall active time, he wasn't healing on all the fights (e.g. he wasn't healing on Ultraxion, nor on Yor'sahj). His uptime on the Zon'ozz kill was 95%, which is less than the other healers still, but not that bad. But it does seem to disagree with the number of casts involved.
That was from Hagara, which admittedly is a fight that tries to make you stop casting a lot. Still, the other healers managed much better activity time for whatever reason.

Ah, gotcha, yeah I find Hagara in a way very difficult to heal, the damage is coming at such quick bursts some times, I don't even want to imagine what's going on in heroic, my experiences are from normal modes. Yeah that activity seems rather low, makes me wonder. Could it be not much casting during transition phases?

As far as addons are concerned, here's the ones I consider essential:
Vuhdo as far as raid-frames go.
Bartender for action bars, many alternatives there.
Bigwigs for raid warnings. I suppose most people use DBM, I somehow like Bigwigs more, but I think both are viable.
Weakauras, for visual queues to all sorts of CDs and ICDs. For instance I have it bounce a big icon at me 10 seconds before the Judgement buff is about to expire.

For tips, might be worth looking at the various threads in the Dragon Soul section of the forums, might find something there. And in any case it might be a better place to have that discussion at. Since I am healing normal modes mostly, I would hesitate to make any concrete suggestions, though I suppose some tips might be similar.

Thanks a lot, everyone! Tonight I managed to rank 3rd and 4th in healing, even managed to top the other paladin for a short time, I think my raid spot may be saved. I really appreciate all the help.
