One thing Priest can do that Paladin can't: AoE heal.

Try to dual heal it.
Having 6 dps ensures that he will go down shortly after you get the 3rd mark. Just make sure that you raid never ever get hit by beats (proper slow / knockback) and avoid stacking RP on the boss in any way possible (e.g. have your Mage Ice Block out of Blood Boil).
Marks are quite easy to heal when he is on low RP. As he approaches 100 RP the mark damage gets insane and you need to spam. Just watch his RP, slack a bit when he is low and make sure you are full on mana and cooldowns and ready to spam as soon as he gets above 70 or 80. Spam your heart out until he casts that third mark, keep both marks up for a bit (which should be easy enough as long as he stays below 40 RP) and kill him. Just keep in mind that the expensive healing spam should only be necessary for a very short time, while he gets close to 100 RP. Yes, in that phase even a single missed GCD can mean a wipe, specially if the mark is on a cloth class. That's hard to learn and the healing timing has to be perfect - just like it had to be on Anub p3 heroic. I actually enjoy the challenge (and I have to admit I messed it up quite often on our last attempt).
If he doesn't die before getting to high RP and 3 marks just tell your dps to stop slacking.
But yes, you are right: BoL just is OP. Blizzard knows about the problem and wants to fix it (

Thank the Light they are aware of it!
Anyway, I'll remain cynical but hopeful - After all, Disc is supposed to sacrifice throughput for mitigation and regen, but when Holy Paladins have much better throughput and can spam for longer periods of time than us and our mitigation has greatly diminished; I can't help but wonder what role I'm supposed to be fulfilling.
I've only raided Lord Marrowgar in ICC (Timing issues), and I played a supportive healer role on both the tanks and the raid, healing the OT and helping on the spiked player. This was enjoyable, but I preferred the days when I was considered practically on-par with the holy paladins as tank healers. You can call it QQ if you wish, but the fact remains that Discipline priests have been left to rot while Holy Paladins excel in higher content. I might switch back to holy and try raiding...
