This is paladins' quick, expensive heal.
In Cataclysm (as of 4.0.3a), all healers have the following types of heals:
Quick, expensive heal: 1.5 second cast, very high mana cost, high heal value.
Inexpensive heal: 3 second cast (usually talented to 2.5), very low mana cost, low heal value.
Slow, big heal: 3 second cast (usually talented to 2.5), high mana cost, very high heal value.The mana costs differ very slightly between classes. Two of them have the quick heal cost more than the big heal.

No longer our main heal, flash of light has become the Paladin's emergency heal for when the tank or another party member is losing health too quickly to get off a good holy light or divine light. It's great for this purpose, but don't try using it all the time, you'll find yourself going oom very quickly.
Nourish has been changed to 22% of base mana.
