There are always people that don't accept change or improvement over time. I, as a stubborn person, shouldn't say this but I have seen a lot of people that had weird choices or stupid views. And in most fixes you can't fix that. =p
Anyways I recently talked with a other priest form a other guild. He was the kind of guy that follows every guide in sight but meanwhile thinks he does all the thinking. But recently he started building his own specs. And suddenly he started to question the use of Spirit of Redemption.
His arguments: “I don’t die and 5% spirit is barely worth anything. Like people say it’s only 50 spirit extra when you 1000 spirit!”
I replied” If you break down all talents they don’t seem to add a lot stats, Holy Concentration adds about 100mp5 for 3 points. Thats 33 mp5 per points.”
He got angry and shouted “Yeah but you are wrong! Holy Concentration adds millions of Mp5, it’s the best talent evah! You are noob, go reroll deathknight.”
I sighed and added “I could dig up the maths I did for for it, I wonder where the math is for millions of Mp5.”
Suddenly he logged out.
That night I tried to catch him during his raid but I got the nice message that he was ignoring me. So I asked at one of his guildies why and got the following reply. “He said he gets headaches when he talks to you.”
I smiled, another Mind Blasted. (Bad Priest Puns ftw.)

I've had an interesting variation of that problem, where I'm asked what my spec is, and I get an invite to an instance, only to have them assume discipline is a dps spec! The group then proceeded to call me a noob due to my meager dps, though that was due in no small part to the sub-par healing on the other "healer" they'd brought along.

Unfortunately not every player has read up/adopted to the changes in the new expansion and patch. Give the slackers some extra time - eventually they will get it.
What sucks with being a discipline priest is that RL:ers that aren't "educated" and check healing meters will try to avoid dpriests in their raid.
It's sad but... not much we can do.

Usually when faced with people telling me how to play what i already know how to play, i just ignore 'em and put 'em on either the dumbass list or the ShamWoW list. I recommend doing the same.

Just link some talents to them. Normally that worked for me, but I did gear my priest up with guildies and only ran about 15 heroics in 3/4's raid gear. I didn't pug that much (thankfully) on my priest. Doing heroics on my mage during the first month after release did have a lot of frustration though.

You will always get morons that are unwilling to see change. I have no problem when someone is nieve and ignorant of a change; the problem comes when someone is to stubborn to see the change for what it is.
Heh, wasn't much more than 2 months ago and that ignorant dumb*** was me, not knowing disc could actually heal.

Had this happen twice on my priest, once was a naxx PuG who tried to kill Patchwerk and wiped, after we were back and rdy to pull i heard WTF is discipline spec on vent, its not even like they thought it was a pvp spec they just didnt know it existed! They then told me i was noob for trying to heal with a dps spec(how they came to the conclusion disc is a dps spec i dont know), i proceeded to link healing meters, they had 2 other healers both guildys, i was doing 3k hps, holy pally on 1k hps and resto shammy om 200 hps... i linked meters and said 'if im dps spec and can triple the amount of healing than ur best healer wtf does that say about your guild?'... That guild is know on my blacklist.
Had it again when a holy priest in VoA heroic thought that i wasnt entitled to tier gear because i was disc spec and disc is pvp... i got them.
I also played Ret pally all the way through BC and also played balance druid a little bit aswell and so i have quite a few of this type of story in my memory lol :D

Disc does suck at healing, it just brings a lot of good luck to the table.
May I sig this? :P
I was disc for a long time when I first hit 80. It took me around a week to find a raiding guild (actually they found me :P), but before that I got lots of
"lol disc priest !"
Going to OS10 (only killed 1 drake before I left.)
We had 2 healers me and a paladin of the same gear level, he beat me by a bit actually. (Blues and a few iLvl200 epics.)
I was called out by the paladin. "Dude, disc is a 1/2 dps (Where do they get this from?) and 1/2 PvP healing build!"
I explain the changes and whatnot.
He continues to link the dreaded healing meters. Hes ahead by alot. (10-15% but hes also ahead by a good 60-70% on overhealing)
I promptly get booted. They wipe on Terebon. >_>.
3-4 months later. He still doesn't believe that disc is a healing build.
Why are people so ignorant and unwilling to learn? Hypotheticly, If I think Assassination was only good for PvP i would ask the rogue, "isn't assassination for PvP?".
If he answers "No, its a good PvE spec too!"
I smile and accept this new knowledge
