Keep up your wildgrowth, keep a lifebloom on a target, not necessarily the tank if another healer with instant heals is focusing on them, and don't be afraid to ask for other druids to innervate you or to use your tranquility. Also check with your raid ahead of time if they want you to bres dps or save it for other healers/dps. Also you should be regenerating mana at such a rate that if you go oom you should be able to stack some lifeblooms and use your wildgrowth so don't start panicking. Alsoalsoalso, check notes on raids for interrupts or times when people can only instant cast because this is where you come in with hots, and having them up ahead of time makes a big difference.
Keep a Lifebloom stack on the tank at all times, use Wild Growth whenever there is raid damage, and if Wild Growth isn't enough to cover that raid damage (and mana permits), cast Rejuvenation on the targets affected by your Wild Growth for the mastery bonus. Similarly, make sure to weave Lifebloom and Rejuvenation on the tank so both of them are benefiting from mastery at all times; recast Lifebloom before Rejuvenation ends and vice-versa. Aim for a 60-70% mastery uptime.
Use Swiftmend as close to cooldown as you can, either on the tank for an efficient heal or on the raid to proc Efflorescence. Use your Omen of Clarity procs on Healing Touch, either on the tank or raid as needed (you may favor Regrowth for raid healing in 25 mans where heal sniping is a concern and you are not primarily tank healing, YMMV). Avoid using Regrowth otherwise. Cast non-OoC HTs on the tank if additional healing is necessary.
Innervate yourself at 80% mana so it will be available multiple times during a fight. Keep Concentration Potions handy and learn encounters so you will know when it is an appropriate time to use them. Use Tree of Life early and often, because the low mana cost of Lifebloom significantly eases the mana intensity of raid healing while it is up. At low levels of gear, treat it like your second innervate.
That's about it.
Any comments on gear? Should I change anything?
Your spec is fine. You are generally going to lose to a disc priest because disc priests have very little overhealing with their shields which takes precedence over your heals.
Your haste rating is 1407 which is a bad place to be. You should either reduce it to 916 while boost your spirit and mastery, or find a way to push it to 2005, which may not be doable with your current gear without losing valuable intellect.
You have not mentioned your healing strategy either, which will also play a big part in your performance, depending on how much you are getting out of Symbiosis.
Thanks guys...it was an overwhelming success and we downed 3 bosses in BWD.

I don't know why people quote 916 and 2005 so much. There are other break points and other factors to consider. For example, 1573. If there's a warlock along that casts Dark Intent, 1573 gives the second Wild Growth tick. Well below the 2005 mark with the same benefit. 1573 might be achieveable (although i didn't check the OP gear).
So check

It's a haste sheet for resto druids that provides a wealth of info and all the break points.
