To be honest, a lot of people still think Disc is PvP only. For example, the top raiding horde guild on my server doesn't have one raiding disc priest, they only use it in PvP and stuff. All their PvE spec healing priests are holy.>_<
Such a shame really, stigmas are sometimes worse than what a class brings.
And also, a lot of Disc Numbers don't show on meters (PW:S and DA absorptions for example) and Paladins are like, masters of throughput and longetivity.

This is a easy disc, there is a recount module for
absorbs.
It's are to many people close minded, stuck in the past and will not accept changes because for months and months it wasn't so. It takes a lot of power to change people opinions about something. WotLK is the first patch that brought PvE in Disc and many long time players just think PvP when they hear disc. Can't blame them trough, being open minded for everything is dangerous too. ;P
In any case supply your officers links, information, use the mod I linked and show how much you are preventing. Prove your worth and work hard, only then people might think differently.
Disc is so awesome for healing, preventing damage and mana mangement and TBH Disc/Paladin is great combo on any tank. It does wonders and works better then 3 paladins imo.
I just forced my way into Disc and when my guild saw I did 1.5k HPS and 1.5 APS(Arborbs per Second) they accepted me. Okay they force my Holy at some fights still, the heavy aoe fights, but holy is fun too.

I couldnt agree with you more unfortunatly the "raid" leader is very discrimant (spelling?) against disc priest, because a lot of disc priest on our server just are not that good and I just want to strangle people when they are wipping on the bosses because the MT healer cant keep them up and I know I can.
Then prove there are good Disc priests out there. Use mods, like Elrael kindly linked, and show what Disc Priests don't show.
I also agree that a Disc Priest and Holy Paladin have amazing synergy as tank healers.

Can't wait until we find a competent holy priest so that I can go disc -.-
Disc is just way more fun imo. Just, myself and other officers really feel Ulduar 25 needs 2 strong holy priests. Maybe this new resto druid is pro but who knows.
Edit:
Actually disc/holy pld with a druid is the best mt combination.

To the OP:
TBH, I'd rather have a pally on MT healing because they do very poorly at raid healing lots of AoE dmg. It's not abous Disc not being a great MT healer, it's about pally healing and what they can't do well: aoe heal. When they are on raid, they usually end up with lots of overheals. As a Disc Priest, you are still way better than a Pally at raid healing.
One thing you can start doing as the "back" up, is to start aoe healing with PoH. Disc is actually quite a formidable raid healer when you consider Borrowed Time followed by a PoH. You can also macro Power Infusion to your PoH to make it 20% faster and cheaper on top of BT.

Wow if you're the 3rd best geared Disco priest on your realm what are you doing in 10 man? Have some non-dysfunctional guild recruit you for end-game content.

It seems to me like you have tried to get your guild/raid leaders to take your points into account but they are being rather arrogant. Unless u have real life ties to many people in the guild i would suggest leaving your guild and finding a guild who are not living in some non existant place where disc is only a pvp spec

funny I have a hard time getting my raid leader to let me stay holy, or have my dual spec as PvE Disco, but I like BG's/Arena's to much
