Tried it years ago, holy was far better in every way at that time. Got
a lowbie shadowpriest now, and it's underwhelming to put it mildly -
playable enough, but nothing amazing. Maybe it miraculously improves
later on, but frankly I'm not trying to bring up the old argument yet
again, anyway, just pointing out that Disc IS a perfectly viable
soloing spec - doesn't have to be *better*, just to do the job, which
it does.

Penance, sw:p, Holy fire, smite smite smite, SW:d... that's 2 sec, 1.5
sec, 1.5 sec, 2sec x3, and instant. May sometimes need a 4th smite but
not that often, depends how much evangelism I have stacked. So given
the finishing spell is instant, it's generally 14 sec going on maths -
and frankly, it's significantly less than that in reality since
weakened soul usually has several seconds left on it, not just 1-2!
Mana is an issue if I kill about 10 mobs without a break, otherwise
it's fine, since I have mana regen in combat, unlike a dps spec, and
wear plenty of spirit (I too have the spirit>hit talent, since it's
reachable from Disc), and a quick cannibalise while I check where the
next mob is tops me off nicely.

Healing? Rofl. You've not tried Disc in that case, look at the talent
called Atonement... :-P Cast a shield if more than one mob on me,
maybe a renew if they actually hit hard, otherwise my smites are more
than enough. Multiple mobs hurt, yes, but single ones are fine.
