The formatting of your post makes it really difficult to read. Try to split into 2 paragraphs if you can and for the love of all that's holy stop abusing your period key. Your infraction name will tell you how many extra periods you had. Well, if I didn't hit a field max. I might have.

Okay, in case it didn't work and you're curious.

I disagree. From what I've seen on this site and what I've experienced for my self mastery with never be stronger then intellect. The entire design of this argument is trying to compete with a disc priest.... If you want to be an absorb healer, just play the priest. Mastery is nice, don't get me wrong, but the changes they made to it in the patch don't make it much stronger.... It just works now the way it always should have. Mastery to me is still just a buffer between a lack of quick cast times, which is fine makes Holy the spec that it is.... Trading more absorb for less heal is just going to get you altogether less. To say that your raid structure allows it, is to say that you are stressing the other healers. If that works for you, more power to you I guess. Though heal charts are mostly BS, I try to maintain a high performance relative to the other healers... I'm not going to stress them just to um dah on one target. As for meta/ flask you say you use, Zaroua... don't be a noob. I've found that PotI talent and a little knowledge of cool downs is all I need for survivability. Lastly this resentment that Pallies can only ever heal at most two targets is bull. granted that most of my experience in cata is in 10man, I view AoE healing as an over all Beacon heal. Most tanks have melee nearby and what limited AoE we have isn't really wasted. Even in 10man I can line up ranged, melee and tank at least at some point in most fights for LoD. That being said, I tend to use WoG more anyway.... My point being if you can help the raid healers, even a little bit when you can afford to, it opens them up to help you. It's not about getting polarized into doing one thing only... It's about having a clear focus on your role then looking out to cover all the bases.
