So, Saturday, Dagny hit level 70. She's one dungeon away from being able to raid Thursday. So now it's time to think about respeccing. Because her current spec is kind of ridiculously bad for most things, except maybe PvP.
Talking at the Nefarian memorial ice cream social this afternoon I got the idea that maybe, just maybe, we needed an actual Healing Priest in the raid group... so I did a little poking around and decided that maybe, just maybe, Circle of Healing is worth giving up Improved Divine Spirit for.
So I'm looking for feedback on this Holy talent spec. If I go Holy, it's an end of an era... Dagny will finally have strayed from the safe neutral territory of Discipline, picking the side of good over shadow. She's been leaning that way for some time (since the priest talent review, really), but I guess she's finally ready to move on over.
I wonder how this'll affect the personality she shows in RP... hmm.

Good catch, thanks.
Hm. If I were doing that spec, I'd take Inspiration over Searing Light + Absolution. But that's a tank talking. :)
But yeah, that's better.

Dive right in! 0/61/0
Some priests deliberately take Wand Specialization over Unbreakable Will because resisting an AOE stun can get you killed.
Looking at the talents you didn't taken in Holy, the only one that I'd think about taking is Holy Nova. The talents that give you a new ability for one point are usually bargains, and I can imagine there might be some gimmicky encounters which are made easier with holy nova. I'd probably give up a point of holy specialization for it, myself.
The points in discipline look like solid choices.
I don't know how you feel, but I feel like the option to shield when soloing, and the fact that I don't get hit much in group/raid context made healing focus not particularly worth it. I would also support holy nova (it has its moments, especially for just 1 point). Holy reach might be valuable, as it increases the raidus of your prayer and circle of healing spells, which means they'll probably hit more of the party.
I wouldn't do without Unbreakable Will myself, because the resits have saved me and tanks more often than they've killed me. But a fear resist has killed me once or twice. "Hey, Onyxia! What's up?"
In any event, yeah, the build looks overall really solid for super healing power.
In the original version, the point you had in reducing the mana cost of instant spells seemed like a good candidate.
