When I wanted to upgrade the Healer to one of the major casters available for a psuedo-Victorian game (think Shadow Hearts in Eberron), I here's what I came up with...
alignment: any nonevil
hit dice: d8
skill points: 4/level
class skills: concentration, craft, diplomacy, handle animal,
knowledge(nature), knowledge(religion), profession, sense motive,
spellcraft, survival
weapon and armor proficiency: simple weapons, no armor
spells: healers spontaneously cast any spell on their list, in the
manner of the dread necromancer or warmage

healing hands (ex): whenever a healer casts a spell that cures hit point damage,
she adds her Cha modifier to the amount of damage healed. This only applies to
healer spells.
skill focus(heal): if the healer already has this feat, choose a different one.
advanced learning: each time she gains this ability, the healer can add one spell
to her list from the Good, Protection, or Sun domains; this spell can be a level
no higher than the highest-level spell she can cast
effortless healing (ex): casting conjuration[healing] spells does not provoke
an AoO. This only applies to healer spells.
bonus feat: choose one of the following feats - augment healing#, empower turning#,
quicken turning#, disciple of the sun#, sacred boost#, sacred healing#,
extra turning, improved turning, iron will, brew potion, font of life^,
indominatable soul2, ritual blessing2, divine fortune2, divine ward2,
sacred radiance2
