Rogue/Priest is clearly the top comp for disc, as a rogue can effectively peel almost anyone from you, possesses the survivability to free you to mana burn, and benefits greatly from your dispels.
Hunter/Priest you mentioned. I haven't had great success with this, for whatever reason, but people use it.
Warrior/DPriest has some potential, although possesses glaring weaknesses. Hydra 5 is an excellent video of Warrior/Priest in action. Hoodrych's latest has one match of him with a priest which shows his priest getting destroyed by a warrior/shaman team.
Warlock/DPriest is very strong in the right hands.
Feral Druid/Dpriest can have some success but appears to benefit greatly from the priest being troll (for the healing debuff) and having the T5 priest trinket for full mana bar innervates.
For 3s, RMP is the archetypal setup, and priests are generally considered a bit weaker than Rdruids in most other comps. fortunately, priests partner well with resto druids and people have success with priest, resto druid + warrior/hunter/rogue. You might consider having your druid spec 34/27 for improved healing while retaining the ability to burst when needed. It shouldn't fair much worse than deep resto given your current hunter comp, as he generally will not be targeted over a priest or hunter and with a priest's plethora of instant cast heals, swiftmend is a bit less vital.
