How to heal Tanks...

So, save SC for Raise? And PoM for Stone spam? I don't have Holy for quite a few levels...

You will find that as you gain more skills, it'll become a lot easier to deal with the tanks you have issues with while also being able to put out a lot more damage on things too.
I see you're only 30ish? By 50 it'll be great and by 80 you're unstoppable!

Pretty much.

SC for Raise is a very good rule for PF. An 8 sec cast is a lot of downtime, however later on if you're confident you have a decent tank it's useful on large trash pulls. You can SC as you're coming to the end of a pull and Holy once the tank stops to catch all the mobs in a stun right away without cast time. Then you have a window to Regen, weave in Assize/Asylum/PoM and commence the Holy spam.

However that's a few levels away so you don't need to worry about that yet. Interestingly enough healing tanks only gets easier the further you go, both you and your tank have a much wider toolkit and some of the later dungeons are easier in general.

Very much this.

At level cap (which might feel ages away right now but really isn't) WHM is an absolute champ for dungeon healing. You do the damage of a mediocre dps, provide gigantic mitigation with Holy and generally have an answer for every situation.

Remember - the only HP that matters is the last one. People don't need to be at full health all the time. As you get access to skills like Regen and Asylum that heal gradually over time let them do more if the heavy lifting for you.
