Unfortunately, you're also level 40, which is a bit low for Sunken Temple. Or maybe I can't remember because it's been so long...
As far as aggro is concerned, I make it a point to throw HOT's on the tank then fade just to avoid any complications. This is, of course, tank dependent. If it's a tank I know and trust as a good aggro generator, then I will HOT and not worry about it, aka no fade.
Renew DOES cause aggro if you're not careful, but there's a thread going on now that says that Renew cast BEFORE you "enter combat" does not cause any aggro. I'm inclined to agree with that statement from personal experience, but I'll have to pay more attention when pulls go on.

As an interesting side note, what sometimes happens to me is that a DPS will pull aggro, take big hits that I heal through, Aggro Dump (ice block, soulshatter, etc...) then I get killed because I put myself 2nd on the aggro list by healing the crap out of them. This only happens when tanks are slow to taunt though. WTB Pally tank for all 5 man instances!

should it be ok to throw a renew on the tank as hes going in? renew doesnt cause lots of agro right? should i wait until im flagged for combat to throw a renew?
Before aggro. With you not having PoM yet, tell the tank to pull right after you hit him with renew. Keep at max distance, and you won't flag combat. You don't pull aggro unless you are in combat or when you cast. Boss fights are different. PoM only on a boss fight, and expect to send a big heal quickly if he's a weak tank. Boss fights put the whole party in combat reguardless of their proximity.
but there's a thread going on now that says that Renew cast BEFORE you "enter combat" does not cause any aggro. I'm inclined to agree with that statement from personal experience, but I'll have to pay more attention when pulls go on.
I didn't know this little trick till just a few days ago. See
http://www.wowhead.com/?forums&topic=31963
. It's all there. Links and testing. I did find, however, if you cast renew on a pally while he's casting avenger's shield, it throws you into combat. You have to cast before any action is taking place, or you get put into combat. This includes shoot on warriors. It may be a latency issue between the 2 player toons, but that's what I've found, and I tried it on every pull I could.
If you are pulling healer aggro, it's the tanks fault. Especially him being so much higher level than you. That tank is a scrub.
If you are still having aggro problems, and can't get renew on before getting sucked into combat, start casting a greater heal right at aggro. If it's not needed, stopcast and recast, and repeat till it's needed. Only use it when it's needed. NO tank can argue that if you pull aggro then. You gave him all the time you could. If he wants to argue it, he can go fly off a cliff.
