I havn't gotten a chance to test it, but maybe with the 4piece bonus to reset the CD of penance would help a disc priest. We had our shadow priest heal (his OS was disc) in 25 man, but he just didn't seem to do a lot of healing. Was at the very bottom so he went back to shadow. It's just not a disc favored fight I don't think :(
Also, in 10 man we used 1 holy priest (me) 1 holy pally and one resto druid. Disc is my other spec, but I didn't even try it.

I healed it as Disc last night (10man) and came out last, but that's only because I was focusing on the tanks, while throwing an occasional Penance and Renew on boss, as the other two healers (druid and shaman) were focusing the boss. I didn't get to go into the portals, either.
As for Holy, I healed it as Holy for 25man, and for whatever reason, it just would not let me cast GS on it. It kept saying something like "invalid target", yet the other Holy priest could cast it just fine, I saw it up on the boss multiple times. =/
As for speccing for Gheal in Holy, I agree that it'd grant much higher HPS, but at the cost of much more mana use, with Gheal's outrageous mana cost. Be prepared to ask for innervates, or go into every portal, as the fight isn't very short.

A disc priest should pretty much always be at the bottom of meters.
Just sayin'.

Not if you've got Skada, which counts absorbs. Disc priest tops meters in Twin Valks / BQL, with absorbs factored into healing meters :3

Absolutely agree. As disc, our best role on this fight is raid healing, not boss-healing. It's a pally showcase (QQ).
In 10-man, holy would probably be better because of how powerful GS is. Even so, I'm sure you could succeed in healing it as disc plus . That's just a guess; I'll be doing 10-man tonight for the first time.

Keep your brothers of the bubble informed.

It's a one minute debuff. It means you get no benefit (relevant to GS) from two holy priests.

Holy is better for the fight. GS on heroism.

Considering switching to my Shadow offspec or switching to Holy for Valithria (and Blood Queen Lanathel too). Disc doesn't seem very powerful in either fight. Every other fight in ICC shows me in the top 3 healing/absorbs except for these two. We've got a moonkin or elemental shaman who would switch to resto and let me go shadow for these fights, I just have to convince our raid leader to let me test this theory.
