Overhealing does not cause agro. I have heard that it may have very early in the original beta but not since then.
Crits to my knowledge have never produced more agro than you would expect for their damage/heal. The last time I tested this was around patch 1.9 testing healing touch versus regrowth versus rejuv and there was no agro difference and the agro produced was in accordance with heal/2. The most likely explanation is that lots of the druids that post on the official forums are dumb. There was the data error with swiftmend that was fixed this patch but thats seperate to regrowth.
Its easy to gain agro on knockback mobs/bosses by using dots or hots this is not surprising. Since most tanks apply their threat in discreet chunks.
The official forums should be regarded pretty much as a source of entertainment. Every time I go there I just see posts which make me want to despair at humanity for their complete and utter lack of intelligence.
As for testing healing threat the methods are easy.
Step 1: Get a warlock, they can create health deficets the easiest.
Step 2: Get the warlock to cast a shadowbolt on the mob.
Step 3: Heal in the smallest possible increments until you pull the mob of the warlock.
Step 4: Calculate how much healing was required remember that healing is half the threat of damage and that you need 30% more threat to pull a mob if you are at range.
Alternatively on a low damage mob proximity agro the mob then heal your self with whatever spell, get your friend to punch the mob til they get agro and calculate healing threat. Remember that they only needed 10% more threat to pull agro in melee range.
Do this in conjunction with KTM to make your life even easier.
