As a druid healer, the problem is that even with mostly epics and one heroic piece of gear, there's not any options other than Healing touch (~2.2s in my gear), or swiftmend, with a 15s cd and requires regrowth or rejuv to be there for getting people over 10k. Regrowth, if talented, can crit ~80-90% of the time, depending on gear and buffs, in which case it heals for more than 10k, but that's not a risk you want to take too often, and there's not enough time for the hots to get someone all the way up. If you have 3 people down, you probably just have to regrowth 2 and rejuv+sm the last, which for me would take about 3.5 seconds, assuming nature's grace isn't on cd, about 3.7 seconds if it is. Add in a half second of delay and you are getting very close to getting massacred, and you still run the risk of missing a crit.

I only do 10man myself, where getting everyone in range of the healers isn't an issue, so we do it by frame order. If it's possible to do the same on 25man, that's probably the best way to do it.
