If you compare identically geared Holy priest and Disco priest it doesn't surprise me that the difference between the two isn't very big. There should be more weight on Haste for Holy and Crit for Disco.
I would venture to say that you have this exactly backwards, but that's just my logic.
Which part? Holy should have more haste versus Disco?

where's that 6% haste for Disco from anyway? Enlightenment. okie
There should be more weight on Haste for Holy and Crit for Disco. Actually I think the amount of haste is just about right, though disco could use a little more. Sounds strange to say it, but the reason being is that you want to drive down your GCD as a raid healer, where that's less necessary for Disco as a Tank Healer by virtue of the way Borrowed Time works.
Same is true for Holy. Without having the haste talents that disco has, we NEED that extra haste to drive down our GCD as well as our long cast times to be as close as possible to GCD.

While that's true, you only REALLY need 20% crit to guarantee yourself a run of Holy Concentration every time your CoH is on CD. Anything above that is Gravy.

Mim P2 is a different animal, but I imagine it'd be pretty straight forward.
Shield spamming.
ProM on the cd.
Penance if someone had WS, but needed heals
Hasted PoH when enough people got low.
Mimiron is one of those Disc fights IMO. PS and Hasted Gheal->Penance during Plasma Blasts is such heavy HPS for that 2 seconds of danger that it's worth stying disc on the rest of the fight. I also really like using a mouseover macro for PW:S on that fight and just spamming PW:S in the vicinity of napalm/rockets/lasers whatever.
For those fights where people don't have to screw up too badly to die, Disc's lifesaving abilities are a pretty big impact if you don't have 1 in the raid already.
Oh I absolutely agree. I did the fight as Holy and put GS up on the tank during the gigantic 20k damage ticks and oh boy I still struggled. As Disco, it wasn't even a second thought. PS + PoM + Penance was all I needed to keep him topped off. Granted he also popped his Shield Wall. ;-) But he did that with my GS up too. Disco is amazing on that fight. Makes ALL the difference.

GS will only eat one killing blow; the mitigation from Pain Suppression lasts the full duration of the buff. Or, to put it more simply, Disc is better than Holy in every way.
