As was said previously, Disc is very, very good at raid healing with the change to PoH being party target-able, glyphable, and having Borrowed Time haste by 25% (plus Power Infusion and *oh my* that's some serious HPS.
Here is a link to our most recent run. I'm the priest, and I'm Disc (I did switch to a CoH build for XT-robo-dude to help the tantrums out, but otherwise was Disc the whole way), obviously. I'm
right there
with the Shaman... you know, the classic raid-healer chain-heal spammer (edit: and he is better geared than I am.).

You can see that I use a variety of spells, but I will say that PoH is ridiculous, especially if you start doing the PW:S/Borrowed-Time weave. PW:S -> Hasted PoH, PW:S -> Hasted Flash Heal. It's ridiculous how awesome Disc is now... I really don't see a need for CoH at this point... and just factor in the 2 and 4 piece tier bonus (10% crit chance to PoH; 250 SP after you cast PW:S)... ZOMG.
Now if only I could get Healing Prayers without dropping Penance...
:D

razzem I was looking at your armory and wanted to ask since I am only 71 should I put all talents into disc before moving over to holy or ?
have not done the dual spec yet, can you use 1 glyph for both builds or does it have to be 2 complete sets?
I need to have shadow for quest and disc for instances. Man at 1k for the spec can I get by with same gear with both builds?

Hehe, thanks Nite, some threads I totally miss.
Yeah, pretty much what Nite said is good. I really think it's a trade off of going for Penance first, or getting the -.5 second cast time reduction to Smite, Holy Fire, and G.Heal in the 2nd tier of holy.
Personally, I leveled discipline a LONG time ago, when it wasn't a pve spec. The only points in Holy that I really found helpful while pugging instances were Healing Focus. I'd say the same thing still. HF and Holy Spec are great, but the other deep talents in Disc are better.
Enjoy Disc, it's a great spec.

with blizzard saying bosses in ulduar hitting a tank for up to like 30k damage per hit... a disc priest is a must have for all the mitigation we bring.
Indeed Disc. Priest mitigation is something to drool over but with insane buffs to holy I find very little difference between the two. Holy now can easily out heal boss damage with 3xFH+GH combo.
In a 25 man raid group as well primarily I am assigned to group heal with other priest healers and leave the paladins to MT healing.
When I was disc I felt I was out of place admittedly.
