I took a month break from WoW as I was too tired to play. After the break when I got back and tried to heal on some of the instances I couldn't heal. I don't know what went wrong but the 2 instances I am having trouble is in Stonecore and Vortex Pinnacle.
I have completed all of the heroics in Cata content but now I am having difficulty in healing especially these 2 instances.
I don't know what is wrong here. I am not doing smite heals but just pure discpline healing. Maybe it could be the way my gears are and also the enchantments or gemming.
I would be much obliged if you could kindly assist me in what I could have gone wrong. My playing style is the same and never changed. Just using heal, greater, penance, shield on tanks, mending and prayer of healing if group is getting AOE damage.
I have linked my armory and hope you can let me know what is wrong. I may be out of touch from the healing world since I took a month break from playing.

Thank you very much for your kind assistance

I'm Holy Priest and don't do Disipline, but if you have done all the other heroics and these two are your problem ones, more likely, it's the groups your playing with on a couple key parts.
Stonecore: The hardest boss to heal is the stone giant; and done right with DoTs and a smart tank, it's pretty easy. Make sure you put both your DoTs on him after he casts the um, one thing. Gosh can't remember the name for the life of me. Like wall thing or something. Your DoTs will tick on you doin gminor damage and will break his stun. Do not dispel the disease and magic off yourself, that's your DoTs doing what they are supposed to do. Other than that, the other bosses are pretty cake. Move from stuff on ground, etc., etc. Also, after first worm boss, levitate all the members except the tank. The stone dudes in the tunnels do a ground AOE that wont hurt ya levitated and will reduce your healing strain.
VP: The hardest part of this run is the trash on the third pinnicle. If your group is not CC'ing or handling them correctly, you'll be OOM or dead in no time. This is not your fault, it's your tanks, lack of CC'ing and DPS's problem. The last boss, try to jump on static cling, but if you get stuck, dispel magic and all is golden. You'll want to dispel it off the other party members that get stuck as well or they are dead; assuming they can't remove it themselves or are too dumb to dispel or break it themselves. The other bosses are cake there and trash. First boss with tornados, prayer of healing will be key with prayer of mending for the lightning bolt aoe. I'm assuming your giant sheild would be good as well once the tornados spread in and you move out.
Without more information, hope this helps.
