While the armory link is useful, the more important questions would be:
Are you just having trouble keeping the tank up?
How's the tanks gear?
If it isn't just keeping the tank up, are the dps not focusing?
Just some more information would be good to help pinpoint what the problem is. +1400 healing and 19% crit sound fine for healing heroics to me but I've never healed one so I can't really say for certain.

Yes, situational description would be pleasing, and there are some instances that are hard on a paladin healer. MgT is hard for paladin healers even on normal.

Multi-target healing is the hardest thing for paladins. The ONLY way to overcome it is to stack up huge +spellcrit gear for heroics.
But, the only instance I've ever had trouble healing with my paladin is MgT heroic :P

Heroic Shattered halls is pretty tough too. Chances are, your tank/dps aren't geared enough for you to be able to heal effectively. This happens a LOT in heroics. I recomend 1700+healing for heroics just because of this issue. Also, above 20% crit rating. As close to 25% as you can. +healing doesn't affect the pally as much as you might think. You can heal heroics rather well with 1400+healing if you have 25-30% crit rating. At 1700+healing on my pally, My normal FoL hits for 1360-1380 without BoL. This is pretty sad considering how much +healing I have. But, I can spam it forever with 24% crit rating.
You may be trying to start in heroic ramps or BF. They hit hard there. Try heroic UB or slave pens. They are starter heroic and don't hit nearly as hard.

Point 1 is good, it might not be you, it might be the tank.
Point 2 is countering itself, to make this clear, FoL has ~43% and HL has ~73% spell coefficient.
Point 3, I'd have to disagree, ramparts is pretty easy with a bit of CC, however, in UB, there's a mob that uses growth, and can hit the tank for 8k. It's personal experience I believe.

one thing i can say is to keep lights grace up and a big heal queued.
I tend to heal like a priest in heroic by stopcasting big heals in the beginning. then i go back to pally mode and spam FoL when the situation seems stable.

My sister plays a priest and she doesn't heal that way (I know because I'm looking at her screen while I tank)
Priest's Greater Heal is more mana efficient, and utilities via AoE heals and renew helps a lot.

I don't know a single priest that doesn't stopcast greater heals... and that was my point so you seem to agreeing with me.
i'll clarify my post.
