This post belongs to the simple Q&A thread more so I will move it there.

Original Post:

So i've been reading through the thread in anticipation for 5.2, and i've found a lot of the information here to be very helpful. However, with the February 19th patch notes having essentially completely redesigned quite a few aspects of Disc in 5.2, what would you guys say the damage to disc will be?

I know that for awhile disc was supposedly going to be hit with a 30ish percent nerf which would put us below the other healing specs, are we still in such a predicament, or have they pulled us out of that? Also, since Holy has not changed considerably in 5.2 as of yet, will Disc still be ahead of Holy for sustained healing or are we going to be basically just good for the large bursts of damage, and preparing it with Spirit Shell accordingly. On that train of thought, is our playstyle going to be dominated by Atonement or will that remain a filler with the exception of Penance and Holy Fire / redesigned Solace which should be used on cooldown?

Thanks in advance, i know that's a huge amount of questions, but thought i could try and get them all covered in one go.
