I know that heals deal double threat
Actually, it's half.
The threat generated is too small to matter.

The healing also doesn't do much for you. Let's say you take 500 damage per hit and your healer heals 500 health per heal, and both happen on approximately the same time (not likely to be this exactly perfect in practice, but bear with me). Now, if you regenerate 10 health during that period of time, then you take 500 damage, get 10 health (so you're at -490 damage) from regeneration, and then get healed for 500. Congratulations, that regeneration just caused the healer to overheal!
Honestly, all healers overheal already. The good ones don't do much, but you should be taking more heals than damage, and if not then that slight regeneration isn't going to help.

it is half. it will generate threat, but it is really small and you have to look at what itemization you will be giving up to get it - i can't imagine any case where it would be worth it.
4 threat/5 seconds = 0.8 tps. you have many better ways to generate threat than that.
EDIT: misread a previous post...

Strength is 1 item value, and regen is 2.5. So if you take 10 health/5 sec, that's equal to 25 strength. Without talents, 25 strength is 50 AP. That's 3.57 TPS just in auto-attacks, compared with 1 TPS. While the healing is AoE threat, it is also divided amongst the mobs, so you'd generate virtually no threat on them. Really, not a big threat increase.
EDIT:
From wowwiki:
If a power gain (Rage/Mana increase) shows up in the combat log, the effect usually counts as a buff with bonus threat attached to the event. There are no Energy-increasing effects that appear to cause bonus threat. Normal power regen does not generate threat.
Normal health regen also does not generate threat.
