In your statement, you just described an adjustment you had to make because of an undergeared, underskilled new tank, it's all situational. Great, you probably weren't idle and probably were always casting. Guess what? You have satisfied the majority of the pro-dps camp right there.
Now on the flip side, you describe that you are aware and perceptive of the group's gear and skill level and adjust your healer style to suit the needs of the group, but your video you linked earlier, you hardly did any of that. There was no risk of ripping aggro and there was no risk of the tank dying and there were many times you overhealed for no reason, sat idle, I mean if you are concerned about mana management, you didn't even use the free heals. So it truly confuses me that you say you do one thing (being able to adjust to the group and justifying why you heal only) but your video shows you do something completely different (not adjusting, not showing awareness of your heals, not even using your skills).
