Why do priests need spirit more than other stats? I recently made a disc priest and i just want to know why stacking spirit is so good. Thanks in advance.

Read the stickies.
Disc doesnt stack spirit.
Holy and Shadow do to an extent as it grants both SP and mana regen.

Actually, spirit+kings for disc is decent.
Anyway, no one should stack purely spirit. As disc you should go for intellect if you want regen, but spirit on gear is good. Aim for spirit gear, and once you reach 23k'ish mana pool gem SP/crit.
Intellect is point for point better mana regen, as no disc priest worth his salt is outside of the 5 second rule, and most of our mana regen comes from Replenishment and Rapture, which scale with, what was it again? Oh yes. Intellect.

But if you are leveling and spec into
Spirit Tap
its nice
While this is true, its important to remember this requires the Killing Blow, and is unlikely to ever benefit you in a healing environment.

read OP...."i just started ~lvling"
honestly, do whatever gear is "better" this can sometimes be the item lvl or the sum of all the +stat that the item has. ex
robe:
+5 int
+5 spirit
dress:
+2int
+7spirit
Mantle:
+6int
+3spirit
I would generally say this is a close call, and the mantle would win for disc, the dress for shadow/holy but none of them are "wrong"
actually it really kinda agravates me when people in outland are acusatory of gear when starting a 5 man...seriously 63-68 you are just getting whatever gear is an upgrade for you, so it has some offspec talents. boo-hoo. Admittedly there are off CLASS stats that should be avoided for priest these are
attack power, agility, stregnth, defense, armor penetration, block, items that only have stamina (unless in PvP).
Hope this helps you as you find gear while lvling :)

Saying disc should ever look for spirit on gear unless they have massive issues when levelling is a total waste.

Saying disc should ever look for spirit on gear unless they have massive issues when levelling is a total waste.No replenishment, barely any mp5 on cloth. If he doesn't pick up some spirit gear he'll be ending up drinking after each mob even with spirit tap.
And how much pre-60 caster gear is there out there *without* spirit? Bugger all. Even
tanking items
have it coming out the nose.
It is very unlikely a levelling caster will be in a position where they can avoid spirit, and certainly shouldnt. However, taking that piece with the extra spirit as opposed to int, SP or crit is going to be a detriment.

This is quickly becoming a pyramid, which is against the rules!
Besides this, spirit is nice, but it isn't something to stack end-game. If you require regen, go for MP5 over spirit if you're disco. Spirit does wonders for Holy Priests, but since you're playing disco, don't sweat it.
"Stacking" generally means that you actively pursue the stat to the point that you preference it over others, especially when gemming or enchanting. This is untrue of even Holy priests, as even holy priests shouldn't be stacking spirit.

Most of these replies are helpful, and I thank you for the info...
So I'm just assuming that with all of this info that
