i recently respeced into disc and have been actually using it ‘properly’ for the first time.

Healing 5 man heroics is really fun as disc – not not any more difficult then as holy, just different.

In raids i have considered having a disc priest as super handy on fights with a lot of raid damage, but i had been lumping them in with holy pallies as more of a tank healer with bubbles.

I will wait until i have first hand experience – but i think disc priests would be make quite effective raid healers as well as tank healers.

also:

‘A new talent, Renewed Hope, was added that increases the crit of Greater Heal and Flash Heal by up to 6% on targets with weakened soul.’

this is for you – as a disc priest, pop a shield on yourself or another target – then use the borrowed time haste on a greater heal or flash and you get that crit yourself.
