I used to BG as Holy. It was doable. Great for AV. Not so much for WSG. From what I know, I have about 0 desire to BG as Holy in WOTLK.
Blizzard needs to have their collective heads examined. If they continue down the DAOC path, they will fail. No one wants 2 second combat. No one wants all the stuns, kicks, silences, fears, etc. unless you are the OP class that has them.

In BGs, a healer is a healer... If you get focused by 3 or more (decent) people without getting any friendly support, you're dead, no matter the class or spec.
Except a paladin

Really? Druids or Paladins are just as squishy as Priests? I've seen Druids run away from 5 people and not die, this with me spamming Dispel Magic on them.
But, you hit on a key problem. Priests are easy HK and people go for them first. I think being taken out solo is the rare case. I am usually gang tackled.
And, as a Priest part of my "defense" is being able to heal through damage. That can't be done when you are locked down or when your heals are only 50% effective, to say nothing of the outlandish damage done these days. When you lock down a Tank, do they become less "defensive"?
You want an easy solution. Let Priests heal themselves at twice the normal rate in a BG.

Due to how stupid DK roots are, there's a chance that Frost DK + Holy Priest may be viable.
As for BGs, most people are stupid enough to ignore you if you stay in the back. If you sense a Rogue nearby, give yourself a pre-Abolish Disease.
You generally only use Shield if you are:
- in dire need of that mitigation
- your opponent is rooted
- your opponent is stunned
Don't use it if you're the only one that's rooted. They'll just run at the same pace as you. Oh, and do dispel the judgement that hinders you from fleeing (unless it doesn't nullify Body and Soul anymore.)
