Drive-by healing as Disc sucks now... target boss's target, get
atonement on then, then target back to something else and start
dpsing, talk about clunky lol (yes I know it's designed for healing
within raids really), but dpsing as Disc is fun so I'm mostly doing
that and just throwing the odd heal out; in world content I prefer
being in my more dpsy spec rather than relying on other people to help
me. 

It's actually crazy; where I'm seeing every other class down on dps in
Kazzak fights and the like, my priest is UP by a long way, probably
about double where he was before, so I'm really enjoying it this patch
hehe. Obviously that won't last long, once we lvl up and my gear stops
being overpowered but it's nice for the present!

I'll be buying the various transmog sets I think, since I'll be mainly
doing invasions on clothies (and plate classes if I use them for exp),
so I'll buy the leather and mail looks, plus the DH glaive, after that
I'll probably collect a lot of pets, they'll be worth something in a
few years hehe.
