Not That Simple

Hello, Following the Nobu recently Thread about the Classes and Specs:

"the point of this is that it shouldn't be 3 of us posting information about our classes. there should be one up for every class and close to every spec if we have people running as different specs. the point is to help each other so we can get better and down bosses."

I would like to Take in Discussion Some of the Recently changes that Blizzard had brought with the 3.3 patch. The first point i would like to take is that the new ICC content as the New Emblem of Frost Gear stats are getting "out of the game" the Holy Priest healing Style.What i mean with "out of the game" is that the new tier 10 for priest and the other cloth gear pieces are providing Crit as it's main stat...wich really wont benefit the Holy tree....what i can tell from the short experience i had take from the ICC content...is that as a Holy Priest the Intensive Raid healing plus the mana efficiency its the new challenge...
There are two main stats for Holy priest and another two for disc priest, i'm not talking about stacking those two stats only...its just an stat being a bit more important than the other; as a Holy priest your main stats will be Haste and Spirit/intellect..wich helps you to Improve your healing activity without letting out the mana efficiency issue, as A Discipline priest your main stats are Crit and Sp for Divine Aegis procs and Power Word: Shield more Absorption damage. The crit in the Holy tree it's in my opinion a wasted stat...the only spells that will actually benefit from it, its Prayer Of Mending, that will help to procs moar the Surge of light talent..that allows you to cast an instant Flash heal with no mana cost but incapable of crit hit....however,...in my actually gear condition ( about 22% holy crit) my PoM procs A LOT..wich means i wont want more crit...for it to proc moar that it does...cuz it will prob become a waste and an overhealing fisure. Lets take a look for the Tier 10 healing priest bonuses : (2)Your Flash Heal has a 33% chance to cause the target to heal for the 33% of the healing amount over 9sec..(4)your Circle of healing and penance spells have a 20% chance to cause your next flash heal cast within 6sec to reset the cd of your circle of healing and penance spells. After looking very close to this bonuses...i can tell that it will only improve the Discipline tree....and there's no reasons to even take a the 2 set bonus as a Holy priest unless the sats it provides it way better than your currently gear...
My point, is that since..most of the new gear, including tier 10..and even the icc battles puts Discipline in a clear and easier way to gear up and be very helpful in the battles.. should we all priest become in this way...or just bringing one Disc priest to the raid will be enough...and the others priest (like me) gotta find the way to get some decent Holy gear from somewhere. What you can see in most of the priest now days is that having a dual healing spec (disc/Holy) is the way to participate in a helpful way in all the fights...but the real problem is that you can't use the same gear as disc than as Holy!.

Feel free to post any comment or Opinion about the gear/spec for priest in the currently progression, the objective of all this is to improve our play game and to help each other!.

I would like to add some Really good Guides that could help you to understand the way to go as a priest healing, i recommend to take some time to read it, since in some way or another it will help you to benefit your healing play style.
