I run into this issue also, but I find that having the group self targeting lesser healing wave is usually the best way to go. I also have macros for each shaman to cast any heal on one target at the time if needed, but this is usually for if a target is getting focused.

Anyways, I believe the self casting lesser healing wave is the most efficient healing and mana wise in most cases.

Maybe some one knows different?

BTW, this is speaking from a PvP standpoint, not sure what situation you are in. Plus, I like the above post too for when you need that Chain Heal. =)
I don't like taking the chance that the shaman that needs heals dies because he couldn't get the heal off on himself. I have 6 healing spells. F1 - F5 all cast a lesser heal on a named shaman. So you have 5 lesser heals all hitting 1 player (if all hit its around 10k healing noncrit in 1.5 secs). This means that no matter what some of those heals are going to land on that shaman. If that shaman needs healing it usually means he is targeted and under attack and probably can't heal himself. The last healing spell is a chain heal on self. The chain heals will usually top off everyone in the group if there was aoe damage.
