About the only priests I have run into so far in Northrend are discipline or shadow. I have yet to be healed by a holy priest so I can’t really comment much but somehow that strikes me as a bit unsettling.
Holy priests
On the issue of the Holy priest, I know it’s easy to interpret “flexible” as “jack of all trades and master of none.” I don’t think that is a fair description of Holy though. While healers may still retain more of a niche than dps or tank specs, there is still a lot of overlap. Holy priests can single target heal, top people off, dispel and do different things. Mass Dispel is a great example of an ability that isn’t just a carbon copy of another class’s ability. If Holy priests were inferior to shamans, druids and paladins at their respective roles, then I don’t think you would see as many of them brought along. (src)
Lightwell easily killable / deselecting the player’s target when he clicks it
These are by design. You generally need to select things to work on them, not just click them. We designed Lightwell to be very fragile since it now heals so well. We didn’t want it to be used primarily as a tank-healing tool because it would be too powerful. (src)
Guardian Spirit triggers GCD / Spirit of Redemption cancels its effect upon death
The spirit bug is known. I’ll have to investigate what the design is on the GCD. (src)
Penance require facing target to be casted
I think it was just too hard to get Penance to work correctly with facing for damage but not healing, so we just changed it to not have a directional component for the next patch. (src)
