That would be a huge amount of single target healing. From that wording I'd say its quite possible. The other quite nice scenario is when the healer is the low and throws a heal on a tank getting that heal on yourself would also be quite handy in that kind of situation.

With the current wording it sounds like it would target the tank. You also get a little bit of discretion on who the secondary heal will target with Spirit Link provided you're critting, but as you said it's largely dependent on the style of encounters wotlk will house. My original thoughts were to link the tank with paladins so they could get spiritual attunement or snakes from a snake trap :x I doubt you'll be able to link pets once it actually goes live though.

Or could you split it to an avoidance/resistance tank who'd barely take any damage?

I assume it'll work along the lines of Blessing of Sacrifice. It does unmitigatable/unavoidable damage. It actually works amazingly well with chain, 3 targets ect.
I was under the initial impression that it would be targeted, but after thinking about it a bit I'd assume it will follow some sort of rule on proximity making you force it on to specific people.
