A lot of guilds do it differently. You can watch a lot of videos and see the shamans exclusively spamming LHW, and a lot of shamans also exclusively use chain heal. Ours use a mix, but usually about 80% chain heal. Chain heal is really strong below 55% when meteors start. The reason for that being that usually, the people that get low, are low because they are clumping. Someone gets firebloom, then a meteor spawns on them, then they move over and hit like 3 people with their firebloom to avoid the meteor. You chain heal that person and it can bounce to anyone they're hitting with their bloom.
All in all though, the damage on this fight is really based on how good your raid is at dealing with the damage. I think on our most recent kill the overall damage taken throughout the fight was about half of what it was on our first kill. You just have to keep practicing until people learn how to deal with every situation. It's not as much about the healers as it is about everyone else doing their best about avoiding damage.
An important thing that really helped our guild was telling people to stand on top of someone else in 55-25 if you have to move. When you think to yourself "spread out" when you have firebloom, and you get a meteor on yourself, your natural instinct is probably going to be to put yourself equidistant from about 5 players, and as a result hit them all with firebloom, which is obviously very bad. The best thing you can do when you get a firebloom and you have to move is go stand directly on top of the person next to you, that way you are only hitting one other person with it, instead of 2/3/4+. Plus, this person can then move away from you, and now you have a safe spot where you are hitting nobody.
