From a comparison of per-cast heal amounts, paladins are equal to druid/shaman in raw blast heal amount from 15-18 and 39-52.
However, shamans get regeneration at 24 and druids get it at 34... so really, a paladin only heals as well as a druid or shaman for four levels. Count in the indirect healing of slow/haste from shaman or DS from druids, and it gets worse.
Now, that does depend on content as well... If you have a well-geared tank mass-pulling blues and not taking much damage, you could probably do it. A paladin and ranger working together on heals might do well enough.
Personally, I think the best way a paladin can heal is by pulling mobs off the squishies and offtanking them.
