Heya ;) as of now, im guildless on my priest and i got nothing much to do when im on. Im disc as a mainspec and was dualspecced shadow, i dont like holy tbh. But i found shadow boring so i thought something like, what the heck, hybrid spec inc!:p
So this is what 2mins of looking at talents gave me:
Personally i like it for heroics, i find it.. diffrent^^, But seriously, any suggestions what it could be used for? ;p

Hmm...healing Heroics without Penance, Pain Suppression, Guardian Spirit, or Circle of Healing? Feasible, depending on your gear. You certainly won't be bored. Won't be much help in a raid though. I hate to discourage you, since people are always so negative about "weird" specs, but this really doesn't seem like something I'd want to use.
It's kind of like being a disc priest, but with more spellpower, weaker shields, and less ability to save people in a crisis. Or it's like Holy, but with better shields, less AOE, and absolutely no way to save people in a crisis.
I understand that you were going for talents that enhance the spells you already have; the problem is that priest healing in endgame kind of requires the specialized tools that you get by going deep into the trees, IMO.
If it's fun in heroics, I guess that's good enough.

I really don't see any merit in a hybrid spec, instead of disc you lose 5% damage reduction, the regen from Rapture, mini shields on spell crits, an OH **** button(pain suppresion), a mini OH **** button(Borrowed time), 70% reduced casting interuption (because aoe WILL happen), and Penance.
I don't consider losing all of that worth gaining 20% sp from spirit, 5% spirit, 1% healing(Spiritual healing - grace), and bonus mp5 from spirit on crit.

Im geared in toc25 and icc 10/25gearish ;p but yeah, i did try it in a 10man raid and my total healing done was about the same as the holy priest =/ guess he sucked :p

Numbers wouldn't really reveal the weaknesses in a build like this. Your numbers *would* be good, because you're boosting the stats that put up the numbers. And if you were stuck on raid heals with an experienced group, I doubt anyone would notice a difference; you wouldn't be substantially better or worse in a farm run.
Progression content, on the other hand, could be a problem. MT healing seems like it would be nearly impossible on progression bosses with this build. You've got nothing to fall back on in terms of emergency buttons. As a healer, I like to see myself as a fireman, rather than a gardener; it's why I prefer Disc to Holy. This seems like a build that could keep a raid topped off, but that couldn't really save them from a wipe when things go badly.

hmmm, and see here is what happens everytime i start on the hybrid track:
BOTH holy and disc have some damage increasing talents in the early to middle of their trees
it IS possible to get all of those damage increasing talents with minimal point assignment into healing only talents
see this
. however you are left with 10 points that can go nowhere execept to healing talents in those two trees.....today it finally hit me....why not dip into the shadow.
this (34/27/10)
spec is not going to be amazing, but it just might make things interesting for the bored guy who doesnt like shadow. Throwing out 2 dots and then blasting with holy can get fun, but i realized that there was unknown potential here....
FoL will trigger off of any critical strike right? and shadowform causes the two dots to have a crit chance... so in my make beleive land I can be in shadowform, open up with a regular start for shado(minus VT), getting those crit capable dots up, then wait for the FoL to proc, hit HF followed by the smite (the proc should last long enough), then jump back into shadow and carry about your buisness.
(13/27/31
) while you will need 3% more hit than a shadow priest, that should not be unmanagable. and admittedly this is only feasible because the flip into shadowform was reduced to 3% mana base....oh and the SWP glyph is added in to hopefully take care of the extra mana needs.....
going to top dps meters, no. But bringing to bear almost all of the damage possible from a priest ....sounds like a challenge to me.
