Looking for pointers as a new pvp healer

My priest is currently at level 80, and levelled from 15-80 almost entirely via dungeon healing. However, I now fancy a change and wanted to go into pvp healing, as I've been levelling a rogue via bgs and enjoyed it greatly.
Basically, I was hoping for a few answers to some questions, if anyone can help :)
1) Disc, or Holy? I've levelled primarily as Holy, but I've taken a month or two off of the priest, to the extent that I'm relearning the playstyle anyway, so swapping to Disc wouldn't be as much of a shock to the system! (Off spec is Shadow) As I understand it, it is a case of reducing damage via absorbs v stronger direct healing, but I'm a novice really in terms of healing.
2) I'm having trouble setting up addons like Healbot, especially when it comes to the larger battlegrounds like AV and IoC. I'd like to set it up so that when I'm within range of my allies the bar is coloured and solid, and when I'm not it is simply greyed out. None of the halfway nonsense, as I'm sometimes finding it hard to distinguish between in range and out of range.
If anyone can point me towards a comprehensive guide to pvp healing (spec appropriate of course) I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance :)

Hello! For PVP healing for a priest you're going to see more people using Discipline. The bubbles from a disc priest will allow you and teammates to stay alive longer while you pop greater heals/flash heals/binding as you top them off at full HP. I've been playing my Disc Priest for quite a while now and did do some Disc Priest arena heals. And I'm sure Disc Priests are better on mana than Holy due to Inner Focus having a short cooldown. Hope I could help in anyway! Message me if you want to chat more!

For PvP, Disc is definitely a better choice than Holy.
Noxxic's guide for
Discipline Priest (PvP)
could certainly help you figure out the particulars of stat preference, rotation, etc. You may also want to look at the
Shadow Priest (PvP)
guide they have there, if you opt out of healing in battlegrounds.

And that my friend is how new I am. I suppose they could find me in game on Kel'Thuzad as Aqulenn and I could help them with macros and such. Haha, my mistake.
