Discipline is the new black.

If you've got decent gear (you said you have T4/T5) and you'd like to level in a mix between quests/instances then why not give Discipline a try? I levelled 70-80 as Discipline and not only was healing 5-mans more fun than Holy, but soloing was fun and easy and I had the survivability to escape most gank attempts. Pulling with Penance means instant-tagging and zero cast time, and Power Infusion + Holy Nova makes a nice way to AOE grind.

Try starting with a spec like this: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bVcbhhxtrxsVcMt0x
Then start filling the Holy tree until you get Inspiration. Feel free to replace Divine Spirit and Reflective Shield when you get into heroics at 80, but to start out it's a very effective Discipline build and I had a LOT of fun leveling that way and it was very easy to heal.

Solo spell rotation was: Power Word: Shield (for Borrowed Time), Penance, Shadow Word: Pain, Holy Fire (which finally consumes Borrowed Time), Smite, Shadow Word: Death.

If you go Discipline, be sure to pick up the standard set of priest gear (stam/int/spirit/spellpower) but with more emphasis on intellect and crit chance rather than spirit as compared to Holy. Stacking intellect is extremely effective and most of your gems will be intellect this time around; it gives you a large mana pool (to benefit more from Replenishment and Rapture), gives you higher crit chance which helps proc Divine Aegis and also effects your passive mana regen when coupled with spirit.
