ToT will be nice for you to pick up if you'll be doing a lot of GH healing in your raid. If you are just going to be doing a lot of PoH'ing, then it may be worth staying out of it.

Thanks!

Yeah like Zigizi said, only Smite then, otherwise you are over healing and wasting mana. It is also an extra cooldown you get as Disc instead of giving it up for Inner Sanctum.
