Combat Meditation provides additional Mastery after Ascended Eruption is cast from your Boon of the Ascended. Grab the orbs after the detonation and you're set.

With Let Go of the Past, you'll get a steady buff to magic damage reduction as long as you can maintain the buff, casting different abilities.

Better Together grants a passive, constant mastery bonus to you and an ally.

Newfound Resolve gives a random proc where you'll need to identify the location of the manifestation to get a primary stat bonus. This is alright but due to disicipline's ramp-nature, it is far from reliable.

Valiant Strikes, some healing, especially in a 5 man environment that is constantly stacking up to support your team.

At the final fork in the road you're given two options:

Resonant Accolades replicates some healing, or you could take the extra Potency slot.

Mentorship gives decent support, especially in dungeons when you'll start up fresh pulls with full health.

Spear of the ArchonHope Springs EternalLight the Path

Bron's Call to Action summons Bron to heal allies and damage enemies. Buffed in 9.1 to require fewer stacks to activate.

Forgelite Filter is a very strong trait. The instant bounce-back this trait provides can significantly improve your survivability in a progress environment.

Soulsteel Clamps doesn't have much application in PvE scenarios. Hammer of Genesis will see significant play in a Mythic+ environment and replace one of your potency conduits which is totally fine.

Reactive Retrofitting gives a strong and constant absorb which is extremely useful to Priests with their low natural defensive power. Keep in mind that EACH damage type can trigger this, meaning you can have a shield for 8% of your max health because of magic and another 8% shield for any physical damage. Very good on encounters with a mixed damage profile.

Soulglow Spectrometer this analysis does not increase disc shields or atonement output so is often not a priority selection.

Effusive Anima Accelerator the capstone trait reduces the cooldown of Boon of the Ascended by 12 seconds per enemy hit, up to 60 seconds. I know, I know the tooltip says different. Click through to the ability page, then select Priest :). Extremely strong trait in dungeons for the near 100% value you'll receive. Strong use in many add-based fights in raids, variable uses depending on the add density and fight timers.
