While Holy can heal tanks, it would be a shame to waste so much raid healing potential. Holy priests are probably the best raid healers only matched by shamans (maybe). They have huge heals that can bring up lots of people quickly. Damage spikes can usually be healed in a single cast.
Discipline is more specialized at healing tanks but still has the utility to save the raid in sticky situations. Discipline prevents almost as much damage as it heals, meaning you heal less and less often but people stay alive just the same. Preventing and reducing damage can make it more manageable. Less damage spikes can make healing easier.
As a priest, both types have the flexibility to switch roles for a while given an emergency.
From what I've seen so far, Discipline is a bit more 'hands on' than Holy, requiring more spell casts and using all your tools to make up for the lack of big heals.
Holy can pretty much get away with casting Circle of Healing and Flash Heal with maybe a Greater Heal and Prayer of Healing thrown in sometimes. It's probably easier, but not as dynamic.
Edit: all my ugly typos
