Holy Spec Healing Gems

Have been reading and working through the Dwarfpriest gear list (
http://dwarfpriest.com/#about
) and pulling together a list of items that I can strive for based on my current gear and instance/raiding options.
Irrespective of the list, I guess I wouldn't mind getting peoples ideas on what are good gems to use for Holy spec healing. I have been thinking that anything red will have pure SP and anything Yellow would have Pure Int. I am guessing that anything blue would have pure Spirit.
Red =
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39998
Yellow =
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40012
Blue =
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40009
Given I am a JC, I also have the option of dropping the 3 equivalent dragons eyes into 3 slots (was thinking the blue ones at this stage)
This is all fine and dandy, however I can see potential for gems such as
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40047
and
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40092
. I am not sure of the value of these given the absolute values in the above list.
Also, there seems to be some debate over the value of
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41333
vs
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41401
for a Meta slot. Not considering the gemming requirements, which would be seen as providing more value to a holy priest?
Any comments or thoughts would be much appreciated.

i socketed all Int after learning replenishment was my #1 regen.
when i got my meta, i had to take 1 of each color. i used the "pure" ones you linked
then mana regen wasn't a problem, so i re-socketed Spi and SP so my heals were stronger. i prefer the balance of using all 3 gem colors... i'm always checking my SP, regen, mana pool, crit, etc... i'm not hellbent on maxing just 1 stat out.

Thanks guys.
The other gem I think may be of use is the
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40026
. I ran some comparisons in a red socket over night and found that the
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40047
gave better overall bonuses for a single slot - bonus SP, Crit and mana regen. The
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39998
obviously gave better SP but that was it. The
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40026
provided negligable mana regen and SP bonuses over the Luminous Topaz.
Something to take into consideration is also the socket bonus. For the example I was using, the socket bonus was additional Int.
And with the Meta Gem, I tend to agree that the IED is probably better. Although I guess ti really depends on the rest of your stats as well. I will be trying the IED out first.
At the moment I am still working through my gear and trying to get as much of the best gear I can before the guild starts raiding. Here is my armory link. I am still juggling gems and doing tests, but I think given my healing style and the gear I have, I am moving along in the right direction. I am still trying to raise my int up, but it will be at the expense of some Spirit I would imagine.
