Hello guys. I've got some issues with healing. I just hoped that my hps is so low because of my low gear, but in time I'd collected some lfr gears and realize that maybe I can't heal as a resto. I'm Leâ from Burning Legion, and my hps is like
35k
if I push myself in fight. In lfr, some druids whose stats are equal or less than me are making more hps than me. I've got my 3 lifebloom on tank, casting rejuv on me and open a swiftmend where more injured people stands - all when it's not in cd-, casting wild growth and spamming nourish etc. But I can't hit more than it and I have difficulties in raids or lfr's because of that. I had help immediately and I don't know what to do. :(((

Your enchants. gems and reforging seem good, glyphs and talents also.
It may just be a case that this far in the expansion, everyone has good gear, and you are doing raid finder with geared people, as well as geared healers. It may be just that the better geared healers are taking the heals before you can.
What you can do is if you have a damage meter (Skada or Recount) is to check the Overhealing Done tab and see how many of your heals were actually wasted compared to the other healers.
As for swiftmend, I know using it on yourself means you know where its going to land. but most of the time its just best to use it on any melee player (easy if you have class coloured raid frames showing), so that the burst heal from Swiftmend isnt wasted on yourself and you dont waste time running in and out of melee range.

I'm not playing WoW for so long, and I had think that maybe the reason is me. A resto druid, whose gears just same as me kicked my heal and be more than me. And I'm so sad about this situation, I'm reading web-sites and checking other good druids armories that I've known. Trying to reach their stats but it is so hard to reach with my lfr gears as you see. Is it really necessary to use addons like HealBot. Just 5 of 4 people says that I should have learn that addon, it makes you more sufficient in game. But there is a situation like this, I can't run with my keybord. I'm using my mouse to run and healing with keyboard - so if I have to play with that addons, I should change my whole playing style and it's so difficult to learn an opposite style that I'm using.
And one last question, my hps level is level because of my gear you think. I'd make that hps level a personal problem, and I have to find the reason :/ Thanks again!

First of all you should use pretty much get rid of nourish. It is close to useless, as it heals for basically nothing while also costing mana. Let your hots or healing rains cover those small amounts of damage. If there is more than small amounts of damage you wouldn't be using nourish anyways.
I think the big thing here is that you are not predicting damage well, not reacting fast enough or using too few rejuves.
Rejuv is all this is about. If the tank is taking any amount of damage a rejuvenation on him is good.
If there is a big hit (protector explosion on elegon) incomming you put up a few rejuves. DO NOT OVERDO IT. Play smartly with your mana. Your goal is to be at exactly 0 mana when the fight ends but not a second sooner. This is when you know that you utilized as many rejuves as you possibly could.
Getting used to fight/reseaching is a big one as well. Knowing when to delay a swiftmend or and get a wild growth ready is great as well. Knowing which people will take damage. Knowing which people to NOT put a swiftmend on.
A lot of this comes with practise as well once you get used to watching your healbot AND your screen. You can spot those hunters staying outside the raid, and think that he will definitely want a rejuv (on a fight like tsulong), but definitely NOT want a swiftmend.

Ask moonkins and ferals to give you theirs as well
Ferals won't give out Innervate as it only gives the target player ~6000mana, which is not worth going out of form and losing DPS. Although personally I do do that but only after I have finished casting a Tranq.
And the above points are very well and obvious. The main thing about a healer is DO NOT WASTE HEALS. As I mentioned earlier, keep track of your "Overhealing Done" and make sure you havent wasted heals. Ofcourse its not completely avoidable, but you should not end a fight with 20 million overhealing done for example...
And If you want to be #1 on the healing meters, you main thing will be to snag the heals before anyone else does, which goes well with predicting damage and when the best time is to heal.

maybe you could try with the mouseover macros if you have a hard time or not fast enough

This. I started using MoM {mouse-over macros} a while ago for healing (along with grid back then but standard blizz raid frames now) and greatly increased my output.
i use this for all my heals
#showtooltip
/cast Rejuvenation; Rejuvenation; Rejuvenation
you can mouse-over their frame or them in the game itself. Using MoM makes it faster since you aren't taking a click to target, simply over over and hit the key you bind the macro to.

I Place my frames dead center right over the action bars, hasn't ever caused a problem. Anyone who has an issue with that should learn to be turning their camera more.
