My guild is currently working on the end bosses in the 25 man raid content, particularly in BoT. Because the end bosses in each raid dungeon are very healing intensive, we were thinking of trying something different with our Discipline Priest.
He wants to be a mitigation healer and PwS the frequent targets taking a lot of damage (like normal), but additionally run around the raid and keep renew rolling on everyone and throw PoM out as much as possible (all instant casting spells). The intent is to help keep everyone above 50% so the other healers can then in return get people back up to almost full.
I was wondering if anyone knows if Disc priests would make good mitigation healers (when applicable), by doing all the instant PwS, Renew, and PoM spells, and leaving the bigger heals and aoe/group heals to the other classes?
ps... I know Disc priest make great healers, just wanted to know if they can be effective on straight mitigation healing on some fights...
