Just thought I would share with you the (4) set bonus on the new healing priests Valorous Sanctification Regalia – tier 8
Casting Power Word: Sheild also grants you 250 spell power for 5 seconds.

This is great news for discipline priest who would tend to use more shields per raid than a holy priest, but it’s awesome for both parties really. I can just see holy priests casting a shield to get the set bonus to proc, and then using circle of healing straight afterwards for maximum impact.
On a side note…
I’ve really enjoyed being a discipline priest in raids. Penance is just so much fun, especially when you see your target who is near death, suddently have plenty of health after three ticks of your penance. Plus your shields really do save people near death since they just absorb so much more damage than holy priest shields.
I’m holy at the moment, but only for the purpose of seeing what it’s like when you have a full set of Teir 7.5 gear on and bucketloads of spell power. I’ll probably stay holy for the first week after the patch as well but will go discipline from then on. Weird because I was always such a holy priest lover.
