These days talents are a lot harder to mess up, thankfully :)
Tier 1: Control utility (Mahte's pick: void tendrils)
My vote will almost always go to Void Tendrils, Psyfiend can be good, as well depending on the circumstances, its not a bad choice. Mind Control is well...pretty weak imho, the -attack speed from old MC is gone, but as it is on a CD now, you can no longer break MC to move, cast a spell what have you, and be able to reapply safely.
Tier 2: Movement (Mahte's pick: Angelic Feather)
Body and Soul can be great in a raiding environ, especially if you are disc, casting many shields. However for leveling, Angelic feather 1: limits mana wastage from casting shields JUST for speed and 2: gives the speed buff every ten seconds potentially instead of B&S's 15. Ignore Phantasm, its use is strictly PVP, the pve bonus is minimal and extremely situational.
Tier 3: Regen talents (Mahte's pick: From Darkness Comes Light)
This tier is hotly debated between Mindbender and FDCL. I lean towards FDCL because it fills a niche in casting (powerful free instant dmg/healing) while still filling its purpose as a regen talent. Mindbender is still very strong, I simply feel that lining up a full 15 seconds of acticity every minute is not something that will always happen. And for leveling, often the mobs will die too fast for you to use it to regen mana effectively.
Tier 4: Defensive utility (Mahte's pick: Angelic Bulwark)
The heal over time between Bulwark and Desperate Prayer is near equal, AB is simply my personal prefference, either are good choices. Spectral Guise is another under-tuned talent, having difficulty finding a place even in PVP, gimmicky at best (tho undeniably cool) I'd definitely pass.
Tier 5: Throughput CD/Burst procs (Mahte's pick: Twist of Fate)
For leveling, twist of fate may indeed be up nearly 100%, and a near constant 15% damage is huge compared to the other choices. Once you graduate to dungeons, Power Infusion offers very nice burst and can give you a good dps CD -something shadow completely lacks- or a nice way to burst heals. Divine Insight, the third choice, is great for long thoughput fights, not something you'll likely see til endgame, tho it is definitely a strong talent (moreso for holy/shadow then for Disc). Once you hit the level cap, or do lots of dungeons, I would swap to either PI or DI, the choice there is yours.
At the end of the day tho, pick what you like and play with it to see if you like it or not, many of the talents are fun to try at least once!
