Going protection vs. going ret or going protection vs. going arms at lower levels isn't really a contributing factor to bad tanking until about 25-30. The tanks you run with just happen to suck.

I made a priest also. I have come across tanks that are full BOA, and do not stop and act like its an 80 heroic that everyone is way overgeared to run. I also run into people who are specced and geared for tanking, as they are leveling through LFD only. Most tanks, I barely have to heal them really. Shield, renew, shield when possible. its the overgeared low levels that pull agro before the tank is when I have to actually heal,

Then as a disc healer should i spec shadow and heal with that till i get to level 40?
Check the priest forums for the Energizer holy/disc spec thread. It worked brilliantly for me for leveling and healing, and was much less painful than shadow leveling.
The only issue I had in the lower level dungeons were tanks who didn't know how to pull, wouldn't pay any attention to my cries of 'OOM!' and kept shouting at me to heal them. DPS who knew what they were doing gave me brilliant support and helped me work with the bad tanks so we could finish rather than disband. Tanks who knew what they were doing were very easy to keep up.
As far as getting into dungeons, as a healer I once waited nearly 45 minutes for a tank to get into RFK. I'd be very surprised if it took a tank that long to wait for a healer. Keep in mind, however, that many people leveling still prefer to get boosted, so the LFD queue at the lower level often takes a lot longer than Northrend queueing.
