Admittedly, you've said this has to be updated with 3.1 and so forth, but these matter for both pre & post patch.

Firstly, http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bVhbzhZfxtcf0qihMIoh

Healing Focus (1st Tier Holy) 2/2 isn't needed as with Concentration Aura it puts you at 140%, so if anything, only 1/2 is viable / unwasted. Although, not having any point in it is completely practical.

Meditation 3/3 (3rd Tier Disc) is viable for Discipline and Holy and isn't something you should ever skip. It's a core component of our regeneration and you'll always have - no matter what healing spec - at least 1000~ Spirit buffed, so it definitely just something you should always have.

Seeing how this is the Deep Holy Spec, it's the primarily raid healing spec - so Healing Prayers (5th Tier Holy) should be another thing you should but 2/2 for, you'll use this rigorously in Ulduar.

Improved Power Shield 3/3 (3rd Tier Disc) is generally wasted, Shielding isn't really practical in a lot of circumstances and the 15% isn't worth the points verse other talents.

Improved Inner Fire (2nd Tier Disc)is definitely worth the 2/2 - it provides almost the same coefficient as Improved Power Shield but effects every spell.

Silent Resolve 3/3 (2nd Tier Disc) is a large waste of Talent Points, the threat should never be an issue in raids, nor should our spells being dispelled. No points, personally, should be put in this.

Inspiration 3/3 (3rd Tier Holy) is very essential when it comes to tank healing, but you need to analyse if you're always on the Tank (should get) or mostly healing the raid - generally  the casewhen Holy - which it is redundant. The same applies, to an extent with Test of Faith 3/3 (9th Tier Holy), but a little more practical, this and Serendipity (8th Tier Holy) are largely interchangeable and generally more so personal taste and play style/

At this point deep in Holy with 5 Points left (+3 if you take out Silent Resolve, +1 if you put two in Inner Fire from the 3 in Improved Power Word Shield. You have 3/5 in Empowered Healing (should be maxed, practical for raid and tank healing), 0/1 Circle of Healing (completely essential, must have), 0/5 Divine Providence (this is more or less essential, the amount of static healing increase cannot be ignored) and 0/1 Guardian Spirit (this is personal taste as well, but given smart use is a core component to a lot of Hard-mode strategies and literally a life-saver. Accompanied with the Glyph and smart use is a core ability).

Most of the points carry forward to the Discipline & Holy spec, but obviously that itself is much more personal taste and application of practical use.

Of course, the way one chooses their talents is each to their own, but something to take careful notice of and make sure to get when planning out a spec. Great to see insight from other Priests always though, look forward to hearing more Moriella :)

I should close this thread down, maybe give you access to edit it, Mori.

Jaibyrd, just go to http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=b and fill out the talent build then copy paste the URL ^_^. Then I'll gladly add it. Or I can just add your spec as is and you can tell me how you'd fill it out all of the way. <__<

i'd take focused power in disc over spending the last 2pts in either tree(and just recliam them as you level)

follow it up with surge of light & PI then go from there

I'd still suggest going shadow over this build if you're leveling

 -you've skipped all the healing talents so you'd heal just as well as shadow

-shadow has hit talents & more dmg flexibility so you could just pour +dmg/crit etc into your gear choices

-silence for casters

-shadowform 15% +dmg for 1 talent pt......
