Always cast Smite when you are NOT casting Holy Fire, throw penance & PoM on the tank in a pinch, shield him if you know a large attack is coming, if AOE is inbound, glyph PoH and let the aegis shield and Inspiration to reduce damage (plus HoT).

All in all, with the elitist jerks spec build, healing in PUG gear is decently easy.
When I need tank reaction healing to bail from him dying, I simply shield, Pain suppress *if needed) and Penance/PoM him back to a quick full tick. Then I GHeal him up (or flash heal spam) and then DPS with a Holy Fire to keep it up as a DoT/HoT.

I DPS with smite, if tank starts to drop significantly, Penance/PoM. Most times, I hardly fall below 50% mana. If DPS stand in goop, shield, PoM, and F.Heal.
Or I let them die if they keep doing it :D

Also, PoH is handy, it shields, HoTs, and inspiration. 3 fold coolness.
