Odd, I can't see your armory link on your post, but when I hit Quote, it shows up in the quote.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Azuremyst&n=KeirriThe gear isn't great. Get the Argent Tournament dagger or sword. The dagger has spirit you don't need, the sword has hit rating you don't need, but both have a ton of spellpower and Int. Otherwise see if you can get taken through Heroic Nexus for the mace in there with an overgeared tank.
You have pieces of Brilliant gear on. The helm, the bracers, the shoulders. these have no int on them (not to mention no INT on your amulet), and that is killer to me. I'm very big on Int stacking to make up for shortcomings in other stats like crit and spellpower. Paladins overheal a lot as it is, so I'd rather have a bigger mana pool than higher spellpower.
The Good:
Gloves are good, get the 28 spellpower enchant on them
The chest is decent, get +8 all stats or a +250 mana enchant. both are cheap.
The boots are good, but change that Haste gem out for INT. Haste is a good stat, but your mana pool is very low for your level, get that up first. It gives you crit, it gives you mana, it gives you spellpower and it gives you mp5 through Divine Plea. Enchant them with Icewalker.
The everything else:
You're AC honored. Buy
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44239 If you want to stay with the socket color, get a Dazzling Forest Emerald for a total of 12 INT and 3 MP5, or just go Brilliant Autumns glow for 16 INT. Get a spellthread put on those.
Ornate Saronite Pauldrons for your shoulders. They're a good piece until you get a drop to replace them
Change the Meta Gem in your helmet to an
Insightful Earthsiege Diamond.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39811 is a great trinket. I still use it on some content.
Shield isn't so great, so I'm not sure whether to say enchant it with 25 INT. Options at your gear point are bad for shields. Normal UP has one, Heroic AN has one, or if you run heroics as Retribution you can get the badge shield, but that's 35 badges.
Everything else is middling. Look on here for drops that you can get with INT spellpower and crit. Doesn't matter if they're not plate. Elemental shaman gear rocks, just make sure that groups you're in are cool with you rolling on it.
Also, stick with the Argent Crusade as your first Faction to get exalted. The helm and the ring you'll use for a long time.

You're gear is just itemized horribly I must say. You should look for gear with Int, Sp, and Crit mainly, and worry about Haste and MP5 last. You have a 12k mana pool, which I guess is ok for regular instances but you want to definitely work on that. Here's a sample list of gear you should have asked people to buy you instead of getting what you are wearing now:

Ornate Saronite Skullshield Neck:
Sky Sapphire Amulet or
Titanium Spellshock NecklaceShoulders:
Ornate Saronite Pauldrons or

Titanium Spellshock RingTrinket:
Cannoneer's FuselighterWeapon:
Titansteel GuardianLibram:
Blessed Book of NagrandAlso in terms of speed, you want to sort of predict incoming damage. If you pre-load your heals then it'll help you assess people's healths dropping. Also be sure to use Holy Shock and Flash of Light for the other members of the group. With enough crit, you can heal 2 group members back to back with the Infusion of Light talents.
