Nature's Grace
All
non-periodic spell criticals
have a 33% chance to grace you with a blessing of nature, increasing your spell casting speed by 20% for 3 sec.
Imp tranq is pretty unnecessary for raids but if you exclusively run 5 mans by choice or are just gearing up and 5 mans are your only option currently then imp tranq is quite powerful.
Natural perfection is a very minor boost and completely worthless to a raid healing tree except for 4xT9 where it has an exceptionally tiny effect on your raid healing performance.
Raid Heals
735 haste cap
3/3 Brambles and 1/3 NG can be redistributed based on preference
Tank Heals
856 haste cap
3/3 Natural Perfection can be moved to Tranquil Spirit for mana longevity

My haste is at 702
Since you're still under-hasted for a 1s GCD, what you should actually do is drop some stuff from the resto tree and pick up Celestial Focus like in the "raid heals" build Hashmel linked. Personally, I like
this version
better, but it's the same principle.

I highly not recommend speccing into celestial focus if you are raid healing - you will have to use either Revitalize (amazing raid utility talent) or some other valuable talents from resto tree - extra haste isn't worth it IMO.
I got my points from Empowered Touch and Living Seed, neither of which is really a "valuable" talent for a raid healer as I'm rarely using the spells they affect.

Why would you limit yourself as a tank healer or a raid healer.
Because it's better to be really good at one or the other, rather than mediocre at both.
Expecially if you are doing more 5 mans you are probably not in a raiding guild in which your healing assignment is the same ever fight.
5 mans are easy to heal no mattter your spec.
Even if your "assignment" isn't the same, you're a druid, and your strength is raid healing, and most people know that.
And fights vary needing more tank heals then others or more raid heals then others.
On fights like Festergut, it's easy to provide supplemental tank healing as a raid-healing specced druid.
As for the extra 3% haste if you itemize your gear from icecrown (granted you said you weren't there yet.) and other various raid buffs there is no need for that extra 3%.
The haste cap of 735 includes having Celestial Focus
and
all available raid buffs. If you don't have some or all of those, the haste cap is even higher. By all means, once you have enough haste to start dropping those points, then move them over to other talents, but until then, you're going to be better off with the haste.

A raid healing spec allows one to more easily acquire the haste cap letting them spend more itemization on SP increasing their effective healing. Raid heals also has little to no need for Living Seed or Nature's Grace.
A tank healing spec has much need for Living Seed and a mild use of Nature's Grace and while 3% haste is nice it's not worth sacrificing 2 points from a vital talent and the remaining 3 spare talents.
With a 1 second nourish and at least a ~1.33 second regrowth you can get 2~3 direct heals in 3 seconds making it extraordinarily easy to maintain Nature's Grace when spamming heals making 3/3 unnecessary.
This leaves a tank healer with something along the lines of
13/0/55+3
. Improved Tranquility is only remotely good for 5 mans, Naturalist and Improved Barkskin are completely unnecessary, and Revitalize will have very little impact with you largely focused on a single target.
This leaves Tranquil Spirit and Natural Perfection left. One helps with mana longevity and the other grants a bit of spell crit.
Direct healing talents will have no impact on raid healing and raid healing talents will have no effect on tank healing which might as well be wasted talent points while fulfilling a specific healing task. In raids where there're multiple people fulfilling the 3 roles specialization is quite important, in 5 mans it doesn't matter. If you walk into a group saying "I'm a healer so I'm built around doing everything decently." another healer who's specialized in a particular strength of healing, knowing other healers in the raid are specialized in a particular strength of healing as well, will ask "If you're built around doing everything decently then where's your glyph of rebirth to battle rez decently?"
Long story short-
1 very good tank healer + 1 very good raid healer > 2 lackluster tank and raid healers

While those talents aren't valuable for raid healing, 20% increase to nourish from SP is still very nice when you need to get somebody up quickly (for example on Lick King - debuff where you need to get person to above 90%, your hots are useless for that). Also this spec would not be valuable for 10-mans where you have to heal tanks from time to time.
Overall: Your spec will be great for certain fights with lots of steady aoe like Twins or Sindragosa, but I wouldn't use it as only resto spec. I would probably keep it as my 2nd healing spec and use it only for certain fights.
To be honest, Glyph of Nourish would be even more helpful in that situation, but I'm not going to keep Nourish Glyphed for just one or two fights. Neither am I going to build my spec around a few fights where I need to spam direct heals. (In fact, I'd be far more likely to keep a couple stacks of glyphs handy so I could switch them in and out for specific fights.)
Our biggest strength lies in raid healing, and so I build for that. Until I've surpassed the haste cap for my build, I'm going to focus on getting to the 1s GCD for my HoTs which are far and away (over all fights) my most used spells. At the point where I'm above 735 haste, yeah, I'll start to shift points back into Empowered Touch and Living Seed, but until then, the points are better spent on spells I actually use on a regular basis.
