I've been playing holy since LK and loved the feel of it, especially with the large group heals. Except when I got to cata I started having an extremely hard time (yes, I'm in greens so that greatly affects it). But more, I was having a harder time playing my holy priest than my resto shammy, which I've heard numerous reports that shammy heals are the worst currently. So obviously either my gear wasn't good enough / my new playing style was wrong ( PoM + renew before combat, heal spam. CoC every once in a while, ect.) So I switched to disc for the heck of it and everything was so much easier. I've found PW : Barrier + Divine Aegis to be quite useful in dungeons taking the really large AoE compared to my old holy spec using PoH + CoH. So I'm wondering, is disc supposed to be the 'beginner spec' for newly 85s or am I just weird for thinking it's much easier? o.0
