Dear Disc Priesties,
My guild has started on HC Ragnaros in 10 man... we've tried a few times and got towards the end of P2. Thus far, my mana is "OK". ~70%-80%... I don't have experience in the later phases in heroic yet, so I'm wondering how they can be... "taxing on mana" I've heard! :] I spoke with a Disc priest on my server who killed HC Rag 10, his stats are as follows:
Spirit: 2400
Mastery: 2361 (21.17)
Crit: 1029
Haste: 377
... for me, that low haste would drive me insane - but he says that spirit and mastery are needed much more on HC Rag. He claims to throw out more PW:S, but checking WoL we both use PW:S ~25% of healing. My stats:
Spirit: 1758 (works out to ~2300 combat regen)
Mastery: 1684 (17.39, ~43% to absorbs)
Crit: 884
Haste: 1573 (I loves muh haste... :<)
... so you can see that we're quite a bit different.
I know this is long and drawn out question - but for those Disc priests that killed HC Rag, what was most comfortable? Did you need tons of spirit/mastery? How rough are the later phases?

p.s: any other tricks... this dude has Glyph of Dispel Magic (+3% max health regen on successul dispel) but I'm not sure why
