Renew

According to http://elitistjerks.com/f77/t123944-simulationcraft_priests_cataclysm_edition/, Rolling Renew is slightly more throughput then not using renew(on a single target) Am I reading this right?

Is it worth it to use the extra mana to Flash heal instead of Greater heal to build serendipity stacks? (assuming you use Serendipity effectively)
