This spec might work for duels, world pvp and BGs, but won't in arena.
To simplify the debate, one of the biggest problems is the lack of synergy on the gear. For arena, if you do this in resto gear you will have alarmingly weak DPS in any form, if you do it in feral gear, your heals will be deeply ineffective. If you do it in a mix of gear, both will be substandard still.
Balance/resto hybrid (restokin) has a lot of viabilty because you do it in full Resto gear. This draws all of your dps straight from your healing stats, and boosts the resto gear's mana regen up to crazy heights. Your HoT healing is as powerful as ever, you just have to give up Swiftmend and Feral Charge, and you have to adjust your playstyle to use Moonkin form sometimes.
In arena with the feral/heal hybrid won't work mainly because of the gear doesn't exist to make it work.

No.
Places where this spec is notably fail.
-Lack of Brutal Impact.
-Lack of Subtlety.
-Lack of Mangle meaning you'll be doing LEET CLAW DPS.
-Lack of Savage Fury, gimping your LEET CLAW DPS by 20%.
-Lack of LotP, and gimping your LEET CLAW DPS even more.
-Lack of Imp. LotP, meaning you'll do no healing while doing LEET CLAW DPS.
Did I mention the LEET CLAW DPS?
I think you forgot to mention...lack of mangle which means your bleeds also won't do the needed damage when you are doing your LEET CLAW DPS. As a level 70 feral in PvP you should be opening with pounce + rake + rip then go bear and hit mangle + lacerate x3 on any melee in a lot of circumstances then just beat on it in bear until your rage bar is full and hit frenzied regeneration for the heal. This will drop the vast majority of targets with you ending up about 80-90% health.

Main focuses of it are whittling opponents down slowly, but surely, and being able to heal yourself and your teammates semi-effectively. And my little claim about damage was wrong, I was looking at killing blows which just means I probably stole alot of people kills. Healing was accurate though. Only time I go cat is to maim-dash, or if I'm fighting a caster to keep Combo Points in the bank for Maim interrupts.
That MIGHT work in arenas, but in BGs killing someone slowly means you mostly surely aren't going to kill them unless the rest of the BG sucks. Its about quick kills in PvP. If you are killing someone slowly then 9 times out of 10 their friends will be showing up when they are still at half life then you are killing 3 people instead of 1.
