There are generally two things you can do as a White Mage:
Keep the overhealing to a minimum. There will always be overhealing, but whether you overheal for 10% or overheal for 70% is quite a difference. Especially in the enmity department
Use Shroud of Saints early. It sheds half your build up hate with a single press of a button

As for the other side of the story (the DPS side); I think you've pretty much decided on this part while reading your post.
