Well, one thing that stuck out in my mind - Just because you are the healer, doesn't mean it ISN'T your fault. Part of healing, is having the ability to react to accidental aggro, and last through long fights. Part of that is extremely difficult as shadow.
So, try to take their criticism with a grain of salt. Explain to them that you are a dps spec, for ease of leveling, but you are glad to heal them (as long as they understand).
That being said, what you are experiencing is relatively normal. But remember it goes both ways. The dps will complain you didn't heal them, and you complain they they shouldn't be taking the damage. The tank will complain you go out of mana to fast, you will complain that he is wearing half dps gear and not specced appropriately.
Anywho, keep fighting the good fight. You are not alone.

I have a 73 priest that was holy until a few weeks ago. Easier lvl grind in shadow... anyway, the short and sweet answer to this problem is F&*#@# them.. If the tank is not smart enough to watch your mana bar before he pulls, let him die a few times. After a few 30g + repair bills, he'll stop that crap. If dps are tards enough to pull pats , aggro etc and die... so be it.. If the group didn't wipe because of their ignorance, you done well. The bottom line.. Healers are in high demand, especially good ones. It's easy for kids to blame others for their own short comings. I had no tolerance for this kind of crap and still don't while tanking high end stuff with my warrior. Dps is a dime a dozen and can be replaced very easily. If you get lucky and find some intelligent, mature players add them asap to build a nice player base of people you can run with. If you have issues you can work or make a mistake, but humble about it, learn from it and move foward, but don't take crap off of idiots trying to blame your for their own inabilty to play. Just my 3 cents worth...
fyi... i fixed the mis-spell of rogue on signature.. yeah yeah.. remember the being humble thing.. haha..
