Proposed 5-man spec
I know that this is a uldular healing spec... but i am wondering if perhaps this could work out for heroics? (5-mans)
I want to test this...
Thoughts?

I am not sure I understand the reasoning behind going so deep into the protection tree, and the choices of those particular talents, while not taking advantage of any of the useful talents from the ret tree?
Like this one
Or this
Even this one
which is pretty heavy into the prot tree still takes benediction for the reduced mana cost of instant spells.
My holy spec is I think that 51/5/15 and I do fine healing raids and 5-mans.
As long as you know how to play your class, and how to use your available abilities, healing 5-mans should be fine. Encounters with massive AOE damage can be a challenge, sure, but it's still do-able!
For the 1st two: I traded that 5% crit you got for 2 cd's
Aura Mastery
Divine Sacrifice
and
Imp Dev Aura
the last choice is between +6% to all healing vs 4% reduced cost on Beacon, SS, and HS
Granted, the dev aura would be wasted if a tree is present.... but seeing as this is for 5-mans.... that wont be an issue.
The real ? is....
With my gear... do you think i can pull this off?
Edit:
I have
Signet of Purity
that i can swap in... (i just like the haste one i have....)

As long as you're wearing level 80 holy gear and you don't suck, you could spec 0/0/71 and still heal 5 mans.
Im more specifically referring to heroic 5 mans and reg ToC/ heroic ToC.
Not normal 5-mans.

What brownjohn said still applies. Given that your tank and dps are at least mediocre, healing 5 man heroics is not even remotely difficult and frankly your spec doesn't matter that much.

The extra 2 o ^&*! buttons. vs the judged increased crit on mobs and the crit to my healing.

Yes. It would work for 5mans, and probably 10man stuff. I'd say that having 2/2 Improved Blessing of Wisdom would only be worth it if you're raiding content where people are expected to be fully buffed.
All the raiding specs work fine in a 5man environment.

Again, it really just doesn't matter. When healing 5 mans, you should never need to cast anything besides Sacred Shield, Flash of Light, and mix in the occasional Holy Light and Holy Shock when needed. Keeping Wisdom up for your mana users is nice, but judging Light isn't even necessary (but nice if you've got another Paladin in the group).
Assuming that your tank and dps are at least mediocre and know the basics of how their classes work, heroics are a cakewalk. The fights that are even slightly challenging almost always put the onus on the tank and dps to be at the right place and/or doing the right thing.
The choice of your spec will have little or no bearing on the outcome of your 5 man instancing assuming you know your own class.
