More intellect. :P
If you're having mana troubles, and you dont do it already, I advise you to start learning how to squeeze in a melee swing now and then for your Seal of Wisdom procs, which grants a TON OF mana.
EDIT: See about getting some more of the EoC gear too. The mail 226 healing belt is -awesome-.
EDIT2: Why don't you have Imp BoW maxed out? Unless you raid with another holydin, Imp BoW is a -must-.

Probably for a the Glyph of Seal of Wisdom. 5% cheaper mana cost.

I'm confused... why would you seal anything but light as a holy pally?
Or are you talking about juggling your seals when you start running out of mana?
Uuuh.. because Seal of Light is approximately 3-4% overhealing. :P True that the SoW glyph is only useful if you're pushing OOM, but SoW is much more powerful. It procs from your judgements, giving you 1000~ mana with decent gear, it procs from melee strikes.. SoL is rubbish in comparrison unless you just dont know how to play a holy paladin. We're not the healer that stands in the back healbotting anymore.

The egg is a very good trinket, but casting 30% more spells or whatever during the period it procs because of all the haste isn't going to help your mana problems. You also have a pretty good amount of haste rating and most of your gear is above that ilvl 200 trinket, so I'd try to replace it. I just felt I had to point out that it isn't a bad trinket at all, at the appropriate gear level and if you don't have mana problems. Your spec is fine, don't worry about Imp. Bow. An extra 12 mp5 or whatever on top of 400 will not solve your problems, and you'd have to sacrifice something much more helpful to get that talent point. I wouldn't recommend changing your spec at all until you fix your mana problems, then I'd go to the sub-spec prot build. Judging by your gear I'd say you're at the point where you'll need it. I'd try to judge and melee more often with SoW to get some more mana, just be careful about where and when you melee.
How do you heal? What spells do you use and when? Your mana pool and Mp5 aren't bad at all, and you have all that crit from the ret tree. My guess is if you're having mana problems your healing isn't as efficient as it could be.

No, but his raid mates would sure as hell appriciate it. (Unless, as previously stated, the raid already has an MP5 buff.)

I think its a heal selection issue. You have way more mp5 than I have, a bit more SP, and an almost comparable mana pool so I think you are fine on stats (that includes gems, although I'd be more inclined for a +int/+mp5 or stam gem over straight mp5 in gloves). I only run out of mana when I break into old spamming habits. Throwing in a few more FoL in between your HL I think is what is needed and also make sure you're aren't refreshing beacon/shield too early. When I focus on efficiency, I'm going 3-4 FoL between each HL, sometimes even more but definitely get a HL in to refresh Light's Grace.
The other alternative is that your other healers aren't doing their part which causes you to spam heal more than you should. Also your tanks could just be slightly undergeared and taking too much damage.
