Flash Heal, PoH, and CoH are used so much that it's hard for me to justify using anything else for Holy.
Renew is overwritten too much, GS is on too long of a CD.
Those are my opinions, YMMV

The guardian spirit glyph is pretty priceless imo. I use guardian spirit all the time in Ulduar because a) bosses hit like trucks b) a lot bosses have phases that increase dmg or have spells/attacks that require cd's to get through. It's not on the gcd so it's a great spell.
Also, even though prayer of healing is normally my #1 or 2 heal, the glyph will only heal for about 20-40k per boss encounter.

This is very true. I've been going back and forth on this one. It does make up about 5% of my total healing, and has zero overhealing in my reports that I've looked at. It's just hard to say what is going to do more for you in the long run. I suppose it partly depends on your other healers as well. I sort of view Holy as my AoE build, and Disc as my "life-saver" spec, but I can dig that logic Ethix. I'll probably switch back and forth several more times before I end up making a final decision, but right now I'm pretty happy with the results.

Do you mean using it 1 per minute to increase healing on the tank? That is the only reason I can see that it would be used at all, and I just wanted to hear that someone who has done it finds it useful.
How can you not see that +40% healing on the tank for 10 seconds every minute (thus making it 50 seconds without the buff) is useful?

whereas using it ONLY when you need to save a tank or raid member, it is guaranteed to save a death, but that is also "misuse" of the glyph to make the best use of your abilities.
I would hardly call it a guarantee. If a raid member gets swacked once, that player is probably dead. If they pulled aggro chances are you won't have enough time to GS them and they'll die. GS isn't supposed to be used in raid, it was designed as a tank spell. Even then, thinking your tank is going to die and casting it on them doesn't mean it will save them, it just gives you more reassurance.
Just placing it on the tank increases their survivability due to increased heals. TBH, even if it DIDN'T Save them from a killing blow, I'd still use this glyphed spell on my tank on EVERY CD. It's just THAT worth it to me.
