Just my first impression, it looks great.
You still use level 70 values and ratings. I amuse this is work in progress? Atleast you keep linking to wowwiki.
Haste for Disc/Holy - any good?
Short answer, 1% haste is 1% HPS increase, but also more mana spent.
With the changed Holy Concentration talents Holy priest atleast go for haste after a soft cap of crit. Also with spells like PoH and Greater Heal holy tends to "need" haste.
Not sure about Disc priest, except they use instant spells and flash heals and the faster the spell how less haste can decrease the casting speed. 10% haste of 1.5 is 0.1 where on 3.0 it's 0.2.
For Holy Priests, Spirit is generally considered superior to MP5.
Finally someone who doesn't shout vastly superior. =p You could add that point for point MP5 adds more mana regen, but due holy talent spirit also adds spell power. And MP5 is rare on gear, where spirit is everywhere.
I believe for every 1mp5 you can get 3-4 spirit and around 1100 int 1 spirit is 0.3 mana regen while in combat.
Edit: Slackers for raid are late.

I think this is the core, and depending on taste you can switch points around to get Inner Focus/Lolwell/Desperate prayer.
Thise points either come from Surge of Light or Holy Specialization.
Edit 2: Slackers and raids =(
Anyways ptr build is probably like

With one point over for Inner Focus/Lolwell/Desperate prayer.

Awesome.
For the One True Endgame Discipline Raiding Build, henceforth shortened to OTEDRB (say that ten times fast):

The three points in Improved Renew can be moved to fill out Divine Fury, depending on playstyle and preference, and subject to ridicule by those making the opposite choice. Other than that, moving points is done at your own risk!

It's also going to be a bit awkward come patchday when Spirit regen's being changed, since I'm not going to be entirely sure as to what the finer differences will be.
I believe it something like
Current mana regen = 5 * (sqrt(Int) * Spirit * Base_Regen)
PTR nerfs it with 40%
PTR mana regen = 3 * (sqrt(Int) * Spirit * Base_Regen)
At least I do see a lot of people using that argument
BTW, I spot the following level 70 ratings.
Base_Regen varies based on character level, for level 70 it is 0.009327 (For a complete list of values see wowwiki).
Base_Regen 0.005575
% Spell Haste = (Spell Haste Rating / 15.7)
32.79 for 1% spell haste
And crit rating isn't mentioned?
It is 45.91 rating for 1%. ;P
But you are not the only one sloppy with that, I just realized (thanks to you) that int per crit is been upped to 167, and I still used the TBC 80 int per crit. ><
Happy editing, I also got some edit work to do know.

Thing is, Haste is a personal preference and everyone has the same opinions. this is an FAQ, not a guide. so if i were you, i would avoid things like that like the plague and stick to explaining and answering simple questions.
Leveling as Disc/ shadow again is a personal preference. If somebody is looking at an FAQ for leveling advice, there is a strong chance that they are going to roll a priest for the first time. Therefor i would advise that shadow is the best way to level, as DIsc/Shadow requires to to no a priest pretty well and no what they are capable of.
