Holy

Spell Power
Intellect
Spirit
Haste - 10%
Crit

Stack haste to around the 10% mark. as the other 10% will be given in raid buffs. That should lower your Greater Heal to around the 2.0 sec mark.

Discipline

Spell Power
Intellect
Crit
Haste
Spirit

IMHO (pre Heroic), as Holy, I think

Tier 1
Intellect, Spell Power, Spirit

Tier 2
Critical, Haste

And how you allocate Critical and Haste depends in large part on your mana efficiency. If you have mana issues, haste is just going to run you out of mana quicker (although I have seen it argued that a 2 sec GH allows you to get back out of 5SR 1/2 second quicker, thus, more mana regen)

crits are nice for saving mana with SOL, HC and IHC. You'd think the greater heal value of a crit would be a huge factor, but I am not so sure. I don't know how many times those big heals are wasted because you tried to throw a 3K heal when the tank was down 4K and it critted for 6K. 2K lost.

Where I am at in the game, I don't seem to have a mana issue. When I do have an issue, it's because the group is taking damage faster than I can heal. I think haste will benefit me more

I'm doing heroics and Naxx right now, and I've experienced the
best overall Holy performance using these benchmarks:

Spellpower > 2000
- because of the general ignorance towards how healing classes actually work, spellpower over 2000 seems to be a requirement to get heroic or naxx groups these days.

Spirit
- once you have 2000 spellpower through gear and enchants, gem up your gear to max out your Spirit

Haste
- I agree with getting your haste rating to around 10%. Make sure your gear selections have haste first, then crit second.

Intellect
- another important stat, especially for long boss fights, however I get by with 15K mana unbuffed.

Crit
- Haste first, Crit when you can. I'm 14% crit holy spec'd, and don't have a problem.

A few other considerations for Priest's: get Alchemy. Make yourself the alchemy trinket and lots of Runic Mana Pots; I get 7K mana back from one of those.

Additionally, make a macro for your Shadowfiend to make it attack your target's target. - use it at 50% mana every boss fight.

Get the Spirit World Glass, +84 Spirit, and on use increases your Spririt by 336. Hell of a mana boost every 2 minutes.

My Holy Spec -

- it's a bit different the other holy specs, including 3 pts in Spirit Tap. I have those in place for the moment as I need the mana regen as I complete the hundreds of quests during downtime between raids. I never have to drink while questing.

My Spell Rotation
1. Prayer of Mending & Renew Tank
2. Flash Heal Tank

The rest of the party I maintain with Flash Heal, Renew, PoM, CoH as required.

I rarely use Greater Heal unless tank took a big hit, and then I actually flash heal him over 50% then use GH7 to top him up.

I use Circle of Healing whenever an AOE hits the party, but I usually let the PoM work its magic.

Macro's
I have nearly all my spell macro'd for one main reason. Simplicity. I use mouseover casting for nearly everyhing.

/cast Renew

This drops Renew on my mouseover first, target's target second, my target third, or me if no target. Set this up for every spell, and use mouseover for faster healing!

Anyway, this is just what works for me; let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions!

Looking at your gear, you're heavier than I am on Crit, and Int, but lower on Spellpower and Regen.

Discipline is built to be much easier on mana then Holy, but not as capable of those huge crit heals you might get from Holy.

I'm sure your SP allows you to do heroics just fine, especially with the disc talents that mitigate damage through shields.

I'm 1712 with no buffs, add Inner Fire and a Spellpower pot and I am 1950 ish.

All I am trying to say is that holy priests should attempt to stack SP first towards the 2K mark, then load on the spirit/int and haste/crit.

Discipline specs are quite different, and should stack Crit as a priority.

* And a good tank definately helps.
