thanks you guys, but i thought be holy is good for raiding heal?
1. You aren't raiding yet.
2. I do 10 man raids just fine as Disc. In fact, for me, I do much better as disc than when I am Holy. Remember, disc still has PoH. I macro it with Inner Focus and and Power Infusion, it spawns multiple Devine Aegis bubbles, and works great. Disc doesn't mean you can't group heal.
3. The only time I am tempted to go Holy is when I get into a 25 man pug, and I'm assigned to raid heal. Even then, it's just because I'm looking at recount (not a good indicator for disc).
4. You should try and have experience in both our healing specs. Your decision at 80 should be based on which feels best to you.
Disc has a different feel than Holy. In my experience, my mindset when I am disc is to mitigate damage. I try to keep everyone's health as close to 100% as possible. When I am holy, I am often guessing whether a person will live long enough for my cast time to finish prior to them being dead. Holy priests are great. But you shouldn't decide based on a cookie cutter rule. You should have fun and strive to be good at what you do.
Disc is also very good at healing on the go. We did Hodir last night, and I could cast multiple shields, renews, Dispel and PoM while constantly moving. I'd stop occasionally to a quick mass dispel, Penance or PoH. It was mad fun.
