The difficulty of healing is directly proportional to the intelligence of the person pulling. Unfortunately pullers are most usually Monks suffering from severe attention deficit disorder coupled with old-fashioned stupidity. As such, healing often winds up a bit frantic. At the opposite end of the spectrum, once upon a time I had a generic experience group in Karnor where between lifetaps, slows, and regen spells with the occasional Shaman superior heal, I (as the tank) never needed healing from the Cleric at all. He sat there doing nothing for the best part of an hour (we didn't much care) before eventually going offline.
Having a large mana pool makes no difference in sustained fighting over the course of hours, but it does provide a nice emergency buffer to work with. No Cleric was ever made worse by having lots of mana available.
