That's actually a pretty fair comparison, and it's especially amusing to think about since when I first started high-level healing on a Paladin, the Resto Shaman was a cross between a healadin and a Druid.
What I eventually want to do is have a healer of every class, so I can more accurately compare things. As much as I love my Hunter, my Frost-DPS Death Knight, and my Rogue, I've found that I enjoy healing even more. There's just something about group utility and the fact that in certain instances, the only reason that we made it is because of how well I know what I'm doing. (Part of that comes from levelling Holy the first time; I always knew how to heal properly, but horrible BRD pugs in which people would be dying left and right because they go off in different directions and accidentally pull extra groups and tanks that are in DPS gear, and the only reason those pugs were successful was because of me.
When you heal a great group, you learn how to do things properly. When you heal a horrible group, you learn really quickly where all your emergency spells are and how they work.
