Thinking of rolling a priest in Cat

So i've been playing wow since pre-bc now and so far my mains have been mostly warrior/shaman/mage. I've always enjoyed mixing it up between dpsing and healing. But when it came to shaman healing I just didn't quite get that spark that I had hoped for. I've been leveling a priest (72 atm) and I was thinking about making it my new main in Cat. Looking through the priest changes, they look like they could be a lot of fun during the expansion. I always like the variety of a priest in the fact I have a HUGE healing arsenal, and can also switch to DPS at any time and do some effective ranged.
I just wanted some thoughts/opinions on how you think priests will be in cat and maybe anything you think that could really draw me into the holy realm.
Thanks!

Dont make it ur main.
It to addictive to play a priest, u will lose all interest in other classes.
Old mains become profession slaves, heroics becomes more boring than they already are, which i still need to do because of getting shadow t10. The variety in healing spells is to much fun to even want to dps/heal on other char, shadow is a blast to play and beats alot of other classes in gameplay. In cataclysm priest healers can dps on low healing moments, possibility to make healing priest even more fun and other classes less attractive to play. Priest Deathgrip's version sounds awesome and good in teaching slacking dps to move out of bad stuff. A awesome PW:Barrier /point /lol (target boss) combi can be made.
Dont do it, unless u have a strong mind and be able to resist the "awesomeness (read: priest)" and leave her/him alone for raid/dungeon once in a while.

VE + PW:S makes me a very effective heroic healer. Every once in a while I'll have to throw out FH or Renew, and once in a blue moon PoH. Really, if it isn't HoR I can heal any heroic quite easily as shadow.

Levelling up to 60 will make you hate yourself (maybe not so much will full BOA's)
However when you hit 60 they become SO much more fun. I levelled from 60-80 mainly healing and some questing as Shadow which is incredibly effective. Now at 80 im loving the healing (Currently Holy), my old main used to be a Holy pally so the vast amount of tools they have makes me spoilt.
I don't raid as shadow too much but it was a nice change as its an interesting rotation. I'd say definitely level one (get a good wand low level) but don't take 1-50/60 as a true perspective of how they are.

Sometimes i just forget i got Shadow as offspec for heroics.
But yea, i can heal just fine in shadow :)

arguing about which class/spec is more fun to play is stupid because everyone has different things they enjoy.
