One of the most important aspects of deciding on a spec that works for you is to factor in the actual needs of your character. While "cookie cutter" specs may work, these are typically designed for characters that are already pretty well off in the gear department.
This also does not work out too well for healer classes (especially druids) since your gear determines how well you are able to assist a raid or group. Having a spec that maximizes healing output does nothing for you if you are constantly running out of mana halfway through an encounter.
So, in reference to your original post, what part of your character doesn't seem to be "working" at the moment?
