2v2 I have used a rogue partner but I would love to be able to change it up and am open to new ideas. I use a Tri-Spec hunter on occasion with improved stings, scattershot, and wyvern sting for improved cc and dual dps a single target. This seems to work pretty well.
3v3 I have been partial to working with a sword rogue and a boomkin. Although the boomkin doesn't usually take shape unless needed so a heal can be thrown out if i get into a bind.
I have been reading a lot on here about what a priest should do and how they should spec, but I am more curious on partner selection and innovative ways to synergize with your partners talents. I am sure there are teams out there winning with non-traditional setups with their priests. I am looking for some new ideas.

Viable 2v2 partners for Disc are:
Rogue - Best choice really, high damage, healing debuff, survivability and the ability to keep you alive.
Warrior - Good choice, high damage, healing debuff, can peel other melee off you. Against some match-ups they are very dependent on getting dispels. Prone to getting gibbed while the Priest is CCed.
Hunter - Decent choice, OK damage, healing debuff, mana drains, CC. Hunters can work but you have to play defensively, keeping the pet alive, hiding and drinking. Prone to Line of Sight issues.
Warlock - Good choice, OK damage, mana drains, self healing, CC. This is another slow win combo. You won't usually be able to kill anyone before they run out of mana.
Other classes are not viable for play with a Disc priest at high ratings. Playing with a Lock is potentially easiest because the Felhunter can dispel CC from the Priest. It's also one of the better Priest 2v2 combos against Druid/Warrior of which there are lots.
