I don't have a holy pally, but from what I've seen, it takes skill. I've been with some nearly fully epixed and wiping in heroics, then I've grouped with one who healed with ease in blue/green.
Actually firstly I didn't want to go with him, seeing his equip. Lack of healers, so we headed straight in HoL. Then Gundrak. And a few more after. Simply amazing. I was on druid kitty, so I helped him a bit when needed, but that was mainly tranquility when we were lazy to move.
Myself I have discipline priest, nothing is really difficult as long as your group (and you ofc) knows what to do. Well, I don't like being randomly charged/attacked/whatever only with cloth ;-)
rng is my enemy...

I had a lot of troubles with Holy Paladins when I first started doing Heroics. Not sure why, but the Holy paladins at the earlier stages of heroics are just terrible. It's not till you group with a really experienced and geared Holy paladin healer that you can see their potential. The good Paladin healers I have found I made sure to add them to my friend's list.

Where Druids innervate, Priests cast , Shamans pull out totems, Priests glyph and talent accordingly,
Pallies... just stand still and cast

Well as a paladin healer I personally don't have many problems with any heroic except Heroic AN. Now that is mainly cause the mass posion on the last boss so a shaman or druid helps a ton if they can help cleanse. Other than that most heroics are decently easy as long as the tank is geared and the DPS are good so it's not like a 20 minute boss fight. That is only time problems show up most of time. Anyway a undergeared tank means they can sometimes get messed up and get hit BIG 3 times in a row and I personally don't spam Holy Light all the time. I just use Flash of Light since I can cast..wait a bit cast wait a bit. I mean I stack SP right now since my mana is fine in raids, so biggest heals so I can heal the tank, heal someone else, heal someone else, holy shock tank to catch up since overheals on others don't count towards beacon of light. Although I did hear Beacon of Light will transfer even overheals to the Beacon so not sure if they are gonna do that or not.
Anyway to be an effective paladin healer you need to be a crit healer. Meaning you should have at least 30% holy crit chance if not more. I personally have 37% crit chance. Anyway we crit heal since it saves our mana so we use Divine Plea less since yes we have to use it. I personally pop it when I can, heal a bit more than take it off early if I must. So we have to use it sparingly in certain cituations. Not sure what else there is. The main thing is practice. If you do that you'll easily be able to do all 5 mans.

A paladin takes skill? They are possibly the easiest healers to use and gear in the game.
All you do is itemize critical strike rating and spellpower, which won't be hard to do because many of our raiding paladin's have just as good of a holy offset as most healers do mainset. It's real nice that a specific kind of armor is made just for one spec of one class with a game that has 9 difference classes.
Not to mention your healing rotation is quite simple, spam a couple of spells and watch the crits return most of your mana back. As for AoE healing, most new holy paladins tend to overheal their targets alot, most just need to manage their spellcasting better.
