So I'm interested in creating a healing character but I want to get the best race suited for this.
Which race, professions should i aim for? To make a really good healer. And where should I put my talent points etc? :)

This could end up being an extremely long reply, but i'm going to try and cut it down as short as possible.
First question, what type of play style do you enjoy?
Do you like PVP or PVE? Do you like to do some damage and main heal? Do you like to just outright heal and do no DPS?
There are alot of factors you have to take into this, in order to choose the best race and class. Please reply, I would love to help you :)
(Edited because I just realized this post was in the PVP section, so i'm going to assume a PVP (arena?) Healer build)
Yeah it's gonna be for PvP.
I wanna go all heal. no DPS, just straight up healing.
What sort of equipment should I go for?

I'm tempted to make a shaman right now but all the totem thingies seems like an awful lot of things to keep track of when in battle. I'd just rather stand in the back and cast spells that heals my party. :)

For easy ridin' in PVP style, I'd say go with paladin. Their talent tree compliments PVP nicely so no real need to respec every week if you do end up raiding. They're flexible and ridiculously easy to play, and they wear plate and have an immunity shield.'Nuff said!

At their current states, Druids are supposed to be near unkillable with their heals. Stacking HoTs (The strongest HoTs in the game) which do some great damage as well as great direct heals, they are pretty damn good.
And if all goes fecked up, go travel form and abuse LoS by healing behind a pillar or just go stealth ;)
I've really been wanting to play a Paladin lately but I hear they're
really
boring and I dont want to level one up (slowly at that) to end up kicking my PC. Druids have always looked fun though, but friends tell me the current state of feral isn't too good...

I say go druid for a healer roll.
Right now i have a 37 restore druid with 2 sets of gear. 1 set is max agility for solo cat form and the second is a max intel. and more spirit set. Going restore druid will let you lvl fast because you still kill very fast in cat form . When you need to heal you switch to your intel set and spam your H.O.T.S. Plus if you get tired of healing you can respec to balance or feral. So that means you can go from healer to Caster dps to tank/dps. Druids just give you more options and ways to play then any other class IMAO. For prof. I would go for herb/alc. herbs you pick everywhere you go and alc because it alows you to make Mana pots which you will use a lot of lol. For races Tauren or Nelfs. i say go with what ever your other toons are because you cant send anything or help your other toons if he or she is the other faction.
Metria-lvl 70 Hunter
Bethedara-lvl 68 Mage
Rainhawk-lvl 46 Warrior
Naturesrain-lvl 37 Druid
and many more toons

I would say if you know a good MS warrior who will do 2s with you, roll pally. If you know a good warlock who will do 2s with you, roll druid. Shamans are better off in 3s and 5s..not good in 2s if you ask me.
