Original Post:

Just some random thoughts:
Inner Will: Could be just situational (if the cost is low enough), or something mainly for the healing speccs, as mana-management will be much more important than massive heals.
Leap of Faith: I can think of many current bossfights, where this could save players or the raid (Lichking Valkyrs is the best ^^). Of course only if the priest can analyse the situation fast enough. And if someone complains because I didn't save him, I would answer: "I only save people who play seriously!"
PW: Barrier: Not sure if it's that good: More Shields in less time = more time for direct heal (they said that too) = nerf shields to not overpower the disc. I would want the disc to be on par with a pala in healing tanks (as in being able to heal/shield 2 tanks) and not just another grouphealer.
Mindspike: If they want it to be used in the way they intend, they have to insert a mechanic to lock the dots if you use spike (like for every dot on the mob it makes less dmg). Otherwise it will be the new Mindflay in our priority-list.
Shadoworbs: Increase Dmg (nice) and maybe can be consumed to get boni on spells (very nice). Could be a bit hard to time it right, but it sounds interesting. Not so nice: If orbs just have a procc-chance, we could end up like a moonkin without eclipse-procc -.-
And the Main Point: Support of the Shadow!!!!!
After the Patch a Shadow supports the Group by:
*Replenishment (i think i heard they want to nerf it too, plus there is a bunch of classes which bring this)
*Groupheal
Well an Arcanemage brings:
*Dmg%
*Slower Cast Time (Debuff)
*Heroism/Bloodlust
Or the Retri:
*Dmg% (like the arcane)
*Haste
*Replenishment
*Judgements (not 100% sure about the english term ^^)
Doesn't seem fair to me, but I guess we will get some other support.
