Should discipline priests use Greater Heal?

No. Slow, expensive, and doesn't heal for much without holy talents.

I used it 42 times on our three-hour ICC10H run this week.
And while I'm definitely one to make HHG2G references, I'm
not
making this one up!

Honest question - what was your thought process that made you decide that Greater Heal was your best option?

1. Borrowed Time.
2. 5/5 Divine Fury
3. Target at low health (but not extremely low) and has WS up. He is in little danger of dying in the 1.6 seconds it takes to cast GH (1.0 for FH, btw).
For two Flash Heals (at 1.0 and 1.2 seconds each, the first with BT), I get marginally less healing than from one GH (1.6 sec total).
The only time I use an un-hasted GH is out of combat.
Just for uber-clarity: I only use GH as part of the following sequence: PWS > Penance > GH.

Ah I forgot you changed your spec some... Makes sense now.

Well, I've always had DF, except for maybe a few hours sometime last summer when I tried out Spell Warding. Call me a holdout, a rogue agent, an independent operator, whatever -- DF is expensive but I continue to prefer it.
I only recently dropped points from Imp FH, which doesn't change the fact that GH (used as above) is higher HPS than FH. Remember, it's coming after Penance anyway, so there's a good chance that the target will be over 50% health by the time I start casting; at most one of the Flashes would receive the crit benefit.
My spec
, which I found scribbled on a scrap of paper in an unused sewer system in Leningrad.

Definitely an avante-garde spec, but more power to you :)

Paolo, I have the same feeling as you regarding greater heal. I use it the same way and I spec similarly.

I use greater heal too, actually i have the exact same talent make up of Matron and similar gear. I even gem pure intellect too. In hardmodes, you need the bigger bang - besides with PI it's not too longer of a cast than flash heal and with 16k-21k crits I can't imagine not using it. Do I spam it outside of PI, rarely - at just over 2 seconds it does feel like an eternity. I pray that Cataclysm sees a glyph of greater heal to reduce it's cast time and bring it back into favor. It's an awesome spell that we should be using more often.
