It all comes down to the player, and the fact that disc brings a consistent damage output while staying competitive output-wise makes them extremely strong.
As for innervates, you could be pedantic and say that if he doesn't need to layer atonements, he'd use the innervate for DPS, which is entirely true, but lets be entirely fair here; If you have an innervate available you'd be a moron to not use it for when burst is comming to layer Atonements. Arguing that having innervates available raises your dps because "HE COULD JUST USE IT TO DO DPS INSTEAD!!!" is silly, because with the innervate available, it means he's spending more time casting radiance while they're free (thus not doing any damage) than smite. If he doesn't have the innervate, he'll burst less spikes, but will do more damage because he's spending more time using smite than casting radiance (hasted radiance or not).
