Those are the three big ones. If everyone is staying up, you're doing it right.
QTF
I couldn't say it better.
But you also got the small ones for special situation. Keep them in range until you need them, don't forgot them.
For AoE healing you can resort to PoM/PoH/HN, and a lot of bosses AoE.
Also keeping a renew up the tank if you got nothing to do won't hurt. If you are good geared and the tank is decent geared or when you are decent geared and the tank is good geared renew can keep the tank alive trough a lot of simple trash.
And for panic moments Divine Hymn is a life saver, but not something you use every heroic.

For AoE in heroics, throw PW:S on someone to proc BT and use PoH (or skip PW:S and just use PoH). In a raid situation, you shouldn't be taking care of AoE anyways.
Along with the 3 main spells you are using and PoH, I would also recomend using Renew on the tank and PoM to help AoE. Even on a disc healer, if all 5 charges are used up, there's a lot of healing for PoM.

can I ask something?
I have played shadow to 71 and would like to heal for a while.
I thought at first all healers were holy, but I see that a lot are disc.
I am a little confused (ok a lot confused)
can someone link build and what I need to do to heal in 5 mans getting to 80?
from what you are saying
Penance, Flash Heal and PW:S
AoE healing you can resort to PoM/PoH/HN, and a lot of bosses AoE.
Group heals go off PW:S, Flash, and Renew as needed. On light damage, I just PW:S, Renew.
what does PW:S have to do with healing?
What kind of group buffs? Prayer of Spirit and Prayer of Fortitude ?
In my shadow spec I only have +580 sp ....yep I know I am a loser :)
What should I be looking for mainly in gear at this level?
sorry for thread capping perfectfromnowon made me think and that is dangerous
"I've got no complaints at all." that is what I want to do as well.

Etrin, I'm glad you asked that question. The only thing I feel your wrong is I find there are very few disc healers compared to holy.
Discipline priests use PW:S for 4 main reasons over holy.
They are more powerful (about 50% more than a holy priest's)
They are cheaper and more spamable via
Soul Warding
and
Mental Agility
They proc
Weakened Soul
for
Renewed Hope
They get/give mana, rage, energy, and/or runic power with PW:S via
Rapture
Discipline also gets
DA
shields, further increasing their ability to mitigate damage.
Your buffs are the same that every other priest have, except discipline also gets
PS
and
PI
.
This is
MY BUILD
for disc. The build is fairly cookie-cutter for pvp, with the only changes being where to put the 2 points I have in
Healing Focus
.

well I read the Priest FAQ v4.1
and they kept referring to disc as a dps build...or at least I took it that way.
I am assuming that the healing from pw:s is from the glyph?
perfectfromnowon what glyphs are you running?
what is NH ?

As you said it was probably just a quick typo MINE LOL
I didn't know what HN OR NH was and then typed it wrong.
Holy you will hear talking about having to prep a heal and canceling it if the tank doesn't need it before it's done casting.
I have done some pally healing back in BC and I can not do this type of thing. I need to flash spam LOL
I guess that is what made me soooooo mad with buzzard they screwed with every class. ALL nerfs in my opinion just to change stuff up..What is really sad is they listened to only the top 1% of the people on the realms(this is what will cause this game to fail in the end)
overall NO improvements and "NO WORK" on their part, I guess that is all that matters to them.

I use Prayer of Mending Liberally. I love that spell. It heals instances for me sometimes.
Flash heal, penance, and PW:S are king. I use renew only when i know the tank is gonna take a large bit of damage over time just so it's a little more manageable. Holy nova to heal up 2K damage on 3+ targets, and PoH+IF to heal 4K damage on 4+ targets.

thanks for all the information, I am also thinking along the lines that etrin is, so I'm glad you asked :) I've learnt a lot already!
Any more advice on suitable glyphs would be great, plus any other suggestions for playing a disc healer :)
