I am using a
hybrid spec that works well for my play style, which is PVP, Solo and Heal 5 mans. I played with some Disc and Shadow specs, and I don't think they did any better than this, and at a greater cost to my flexibility.
With this spec it takes me ~ 60-70 minutes to do 10 Quel Danas dailies. I suspect that a 70 Hunter could 10 dailies in perhaps ~ 30-40 minutes?
I think my next piece of PVP gear might be this
wand, making soloing even easier.

Hi guys!
I'm a level 66 holy priest at the moment. I'll be going holy even at 70, but I'm a bit worried about the daylies. I wonder if I can have some sort of smite spec
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bxT0zhxzbZcxxccdqi0c so I get an easier time soloing but still be able to heal in heroics and Kara. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
Ok, I've had a look at your spec now (instead of just jumping to conclusions when the phrase "smite spec" is used...a bad habit I have).
It does seem a viable spec for (1st half) Kara/5man healing. I think you would struggle in some heroics and would miss out on regen on the 25man T4 content raids (Gruul, Mag) as well.
The lack of
Holy Concentration and
Healing Focus concern me most. I see Holy Concentration proc quite often, considering it's a 6% chance at 3/3, and Healing Focus has saved my (or my tank's) life on occasions as I get a heal off dispite receiving damage.
I think if you are not planning to raid higher than Kara, and can accept that heroics will be very difficult with this spec, then there is no reason you can't run with it.
The reason the cookie cutters exist is that they
do work. You may not be able to kill things quickly, but you can kill them. It takes me about 60-90 mins to do all the dailies on Quel Danas. Not exactly record breaking time, but I rarely have to stop to drink and my damage is certainly good enough to get 1.5-1.7k crits with Holy Fire and have SW:P tick for almost 400.
The better your gear gets, the easier it will be to do dalies, and the best way to get PvE gear at 70 is to raid or do heroics. The badge gear is some of the best gear around pre T5 content (and some of it will last to T6) so consider a more conventional spec and farm heroics/kara like mad. Find friends who can help you with dailies. They'll be happy for the healing, and you can get done in under 1hour.
However you choose to spec, good luck.
