My impressions of healing in BC, LK, and Cata are:

BC - big damage on tanks for most fights, and tank swapping or dealing with other mechanics that changed the incoming damage; raid healing was generally a portion of the raid taking dmg due to an aoe effect (vashj lightning, Illidan fireball, etc.)
LK - massive dmg to tanks on all fights, massive raid damage on many fights - sometimes a few people and sometimes on everyone.
Cata - a mix of the two, but certainly there's been no huge change in how I heal other than now I am faced with going OOM like I could in BC but couldn't in LK. Very little sign of "triage," which was suggested as a possible outcome of larger health pools and lower mana regen. And raid damage is still massive on many fights (P3 AC, Nef crackle, Bethtilac, Alysrazor, etc. etc.).
