Better to heal as Ret pre 70? Pre 80?

Hey everyone,
I'm currently level 65 and just purchased my dual spec. I was duoing Scholomance with a friend o' mine as Holy and we were having a really hard time. After awhile, we gave up and then the next day we tried Scholo again and I stayed in Ret spec..we OBLITERATED it.
The additional crit/spell power from Ret is amazing and mana regen is a breeze using Seal+Blessing of Wisdom and gaining a ton of mana from judging. Plus I can DPS non AoE mobs at the same time rather easily.
When will this change? When will I suck as a healer while ret spec'd? I don't want to join an instance assuming that I'll do fine and then result in a wipe...

You will heal better in holy spec, maybe you just arent geared correctly. Ret does indeed have some major regen talents like JotW but Holy will be able to sustain much higher HPS. Your spell power should be higher in holy if you are geared correctly. You also miss out key spells from the holy tree, namely Holy shock, the imp aura(silence immunity) and Beacon.
Duoing Scholo is far different to actually running an instance of your level with 4 other people. Try to do that as ret and you will see some drastically different results.

You did well in a Vanilla instance at 65. Its unpossible.

The point is that I sustained constant FoL and kept both a tank and myself up while taking heavy damage.
