I was a mix of disc/holy while leveling and it was a lot of fun. But I leveled mainly in instances.
Priests have a lot of tools and are great for 5 mans.

Having played DPS and healing roles, I would say healing involves more attention, and more "skill" into it than most DPS roles. DPS is normally following a set rotation of attacks. Healing, you'd have to know your enemies, and your party. And spellcasting is situational, and unique. Learning which spell to cast, and how to balance mana regen is what makes a healer good at his or her job.
It's more focus orientated than DPS characters. You'd have to monitor the entire battlefield and cast spells accordingly. Looking out for about 24 other raid members is quite a task, comparatively speaking than trying to dish out most damage as with most DPS classes.
Healing involves a lot of dedication to the role. The Pro of healing is getting into 5, 10, 25 mans EASILY, the Con is, you're responsible for the lives of your raid party.

I leveled to 80 as holy and enjoyed it. In fact, I didn't even try out shadow until I had already hit 80 and was getting bored once I was done getting any gear upgrades from heroics (and had any and all badge gear I needed).
As for leveling, 1-70 as holy is not bad. You still do pretty decent damage to regular mobs. Maybe not as fast as shadow, or any other dps class, but you can get the job done. And if you enjoy running dungeons, then you're set (as you can almost just instance level from 15-70 anyway starting with Deadmines or RFC). If you like to solo more, making yourself something of a hybrid w/ some dps talents, at least till higher levels might be more useful.
I have been enjoying endgame as holy -- pretty rare, after all, that a decently geared (or heck, even undergeared) holy priest doesn't get a group for heroics or a raid. With more opportunity, I think, you get to see more.
