Read the sticky. The cookie cutter healing build is in there.
Hint: Your build sucks. Just read the sticky.

Get Nature's Splendor in balance. The main point of the first ten points in the tree is to get that talent. It's awesome, and there is no excuse whatsoever not to get it.
Other than that, it looks mostly reasonable. Naturalist is rather pointless at level 80, since Healing Touch isn't really used without Nature's Swiftness anyway. It's simply obsolete once you get Nourish, as it's less mana efficient and heals less per second. Improved Tranquility isn't overly useful either, since you likely won't use the spell much at 80. Similarly, Tranquil Spirit is useful but not great, as most of your healing will be from HoTs and Nourish is fairly mana efficient anyway if you glyph it.
Glyph of Lifebloom is a bit questionable since the spell isn't all that great anymore, but I guess it can make it a bit easier to keep up on tanks. I find that I only really ever use it on tanks, but some people seem to be using it a bit more. It a pretty inefficient spell unless you can take full advantage of stacked blooms, which isn't really something you can control in advance. For most situations, Rejuvenation is better.

I know I wasn't being overly nice. But I was and still am right. He should just take the build out of the sticky.
Oh man that helps so much . I will read the sticky ! Wow I am so glad you thought of that ! I love stickies! I must of missed where the sticky tells me about what other healers use. As I am sure they all use the same spec as the cookie cutter! I am so glad I heard from you Mega! Thanks you so so much!
It's called the cookie cutter spec for a reason. Very smart people spent a lot of time optimizing builds. Just use it. "Oh, let's see what other healers use" is just pointless. The standard spec is opimized for maximum efficiency, chosing anything else simply means gimping yourself. Just go with the one in the sticky.
(Ofc in the cookie cutter spec there are a few free points to move around, those are explicitely mentioned there so you have some - very limited - freedom for your own priorities)

Mega: I know they put alot of time into the sticky and i never said they were not smart. I have read the stickies many times . But it is nice to learn what other people use as well. It is all good :).
No it is not all good. The sad truth is that Blizzard has built the talent trees in such a way that there usually is only one viable spec and all others suck in comparison. At most you got a few talent points that are totally unimportant (filler points or left overs) that you can freely distribute. Those are mentioned in the sticky.
It would be cool if the situation was different. But it just isn't.

It's not an opinion. Exact calculations on the return per talent point have been made and the most effective talents have been found. At no point is there any "opinion" involved, it's all hard facts, numbers.
There is only one point where opinion is important and that is in the distribution of the left over points after all necessary talents have been taken.
