If you're looking for arenas, go disc.

I have seen some very successful Disc priests pwn in BGs. If you enjoy Disc, why change?
Wouldn't it require a change of gear as well as spec?
As you know from arena, there's nothing more enetertaining than
not
getting pwned by the rogue that jumped you. Why restrict that to the arena environment?
The rogues/arms warriors/enhance shammies/blah blah blah are all still out there, and the fact they can't kill you the first time round will bring them back to not kill you again (although not for lack of trying).
As a PvE holy priest who runs BGs occasionally for certain items I must say that I love BG healing and the opposition hate it. If I could only survive long enough to get a few more HKs I'd be a happier camper.
That being said I do enjoy it when warriors forget to interrupt my heals as they try like mad to "kill the soft clothie" and the rogue next to me pwns them instead.
I have run into a few Disc priests in BGs and I have to say I hate them. They eat my mana and buffs and seem to take forever to mana burn. They resist masses of my spells and just wont die! If I didn't raid so much I'd respec and irritate people in BGs by being nigh on unkillable just like them.

Short answer...both.
From what I understand of disc priests you are a mix of cheap HoTs, dispells and mana burns. If you get the chance to stand still long enough by all means heal but, for the most part, expect to be running about HoTing allies and removing debuffs or ripping through your opponents buffs and burning their mana.
You will probably get more of a chance to stand and heal in BGs than you would in arena, but just fill out what roles you can. Just remember to keep things like reflective shield in your arsenal so the mele pwn themselves against you (warrs and rogues love going for priests as do enhance shammies)
As holy I run around HoTing and SW.Ping, plus shield and dispelling. I try to flash heal when I can, but it really isn't that often unless I'm standing at the back of a group at a tower/flag, or healing a tank for Van (when I can Gheal).
Hope that helps a little
