In 3.0, I think that if you are single-target healing, you want to take the talents that maximize your crit and crit-based functionality (particularly for Inspiration).
If you are raid healing, then you want the talents that give you the most for your money for CoH, and crit and holy concentration isn't as big of a deal.
The reality is that in raids priests are often asked to do both roles at different times, so the challenge is to come up with a hybrid spec that allows you to do both roles comfortably ... or to respec for certain boss fights.
