I am now playing with a haste heavy set on the advise from some of the top shaman on my server. My issue is that l am a very aggressive and proactive healer and I am a bit concerned with my mana pool at the tail end of a fight. Any advise on play style I can implement or am I overthinking this?

Your spec is good, but glyphs need work.
If you're going for Haste as a main stat (Which is basically what Shamans do these days. I saw one that had 50% unbuffed.) you're going to be using lots of Chain Heals. The Chain Heal glyph is a good one. Water Mastery I would recommend replacing, unless you're really having very bad mana problems. And the glyph of Healing Wave is garbage. I tried it out back when Wrath first started, when it was only Naxx, Maly, and Sarth, and the only fight I really saw it being useful on was Loatheb. Get the Earth Shield glyph to replace Healing Wave. If you end up being fine on mana, replace Water Shield with Lesser Healing Wave. Or, I suppose if you are purely raid healing, Water Shield is better.
I don't have experience with Purified Lunar Dust, but I do know that Solace of the Undefeated is a very good trinket. That's a keeper.
I've seen some Shaman's who have even less MP5 than you and even more Haste, so I do believe you're on the right track.

I think your gear and glyphs are very good. (I use the same trinklet combo too)
These days, Glyphs should be treated as 'consumables' and swapped as needed.
e.g. Glyph is CH for Raid heal, Glyph of HW for specific fights, eg. Heroic Dreamwalker, ES/LHW for tank healing
As long as you don't go OOM before the end of the fight, it should be fine :)
I think the issue is "Aggressive and Proactive" more than anything else. We can easily go OOM healing that way.
It might be necessary if your raid members are not good at avoiding damaged.
With such proactive healing, often we'll also need to use the cancel casting technique to conserve mana. (i.e. pre-cast, but as the spell is about to go off, if the heal is not needed, cancel it).
