Unless all of your non-epic gear is level 70 greens, then yes, you should be able to heal VH fine as long as your mana management is good. He was just a @#$%^& that wanted his 3 badges and out.

Not enough epics? THIS IS MADNESS!
Sarcasm aside, I remember when at the beginning of wrath, there were actual standards that were near the floor. Tanks just needed about 24k hp at the launch of WOTLK, healers needed to just not suck, dps same.
Skill > Gear back when everyone was learning, and it worked well.
Now people are looking at things like Skill < Gear unfortunately.
And on top of that, if that guys standards was oh so high, then even having a healer with not the best gear shouldn't be a problem since the guy OBVIOUSLY (with all his pro'ness)
A) Have a good tank
B) Have good dps
So if he somehow got those two, a healer shouldn't have to be incredibly geared...
Anyway, but yea, I look at if you gem and enchant. If you do, that tells me your putting effort foward. But yeah, that sucks man.
Edit: Just looked at your armory.. you gear is o-k, not exactly that good though. A bit rough, but even with all the current gear that is out you probaly could have scrapped by VH.

VH's not hard at all. I just toss the earth shield on the tank and go afk for 5 minutes when I heal it on my Shaman, and I've healed it easy as Elemental - while DPSing on the side. Guy was being a tard.
/WIN
My cousin does that when i am tanking, first time i saw him do chain lightning ( always set healer on focus) I asked WTF man, He answered that he was bored and tired of seeing miss, miss, parry, dodge.
So i think that tank was just a fail and needed a very good healer to keep him up.

Well the only healing intensive boss in VH is Zuramat. The trash mobs are mostly easy, even the portal guardians are trivial to heal.

Well any group thats like that probably isn't worth joining however I can see where they were coming from if they are just farming badges.
You have a really low mana pool (under 13k) and 71 points in the holy tree according to the armoury, these are signs to people that you may not be geared enough (I had like nearly 16k mana when I started heroics) or understand your class too well (having 71 points in one talent tree).
I'm sure you'd have done just fine but the only epics you have (other than the titansteel mace) are from PvP and while these are okay for dps'ers they tend to lack the regen needed from gear for healers and for healing instances you may get better results from using blue quality gear with more int and spirit on it.
Essentially, groups that kick people for being undergeared fail. However you really need to put some work into your spec and gear if you want groups not to kick you before they see you in action as the sad state of affairs is that people *do* kick people for being undergeared.

Someone wouldn't let me heal reg ToC because "I had a childish name."
That's the first time that has ever happened. Ever.
(Armory is in my sig. Might have my ret gear on.)

I really dont see why you would need epics to heal heroics. I did it in full T1 as a prank and did fine.
and yes I do have 71 points in my resto tree (Shaman resto tree has alot of good talents to use)

Why no Meditation? It's the staple of a Priest's regen, especially a Healer struggling with gear.
Get moar spirit/intellect gear asap. But yeh, you just had a prick in your group.

IMO forget him and move on. Try running a few more heroics with other groups, healers are always tough to find. Also make friends with a tailor or check the AH. Your bracers, gloves, pants and boots could use an upgrade. I couldn't find too much for rep rewards, unless you rep grind some other factions.
