I currently wear a rather fetching
gimp mask, and am looking for my first hat for my fledgling discipline priest.
My initial thought is to hop over to my main and make a
DPS cranium cover and purchase a nice EED for it.
Is this a sensible move? i.e. does the meta gem make up for the so-so stats in comparison to other easily obtainable gear?

You should be able to get Hat of Wintry Doom for pretty cheap nowadays. It's not the best, seeing as it's got Hit on it, but if you don't have anything better, then take it.
You can also try for
Forgotten Shadow Hood from Heroic CoS. Or, you can have a go at Naxx25 to see if you can nab
Gothik's Cowl, a very good choice for Disc, seeing as it has both Haste and Crit on it.
You can also do easy Onyxia 10-man, and get yourself a
Coronet of Transcendence, another one with Haste and Crit.

For DPSing you should only be considering the
CSD, and no other meta. Nothing even comes close.
the helm itself is alright, but you shouldn't have a terribly difficult time finding groups for HToC to get the helm off of BK.

In the time it took me to write this post, you could have farmed enough badges for the
T8 helm.
Ok, maybe not quite. But it's what you should be aiming for. Grab one of the several iLevel 200 helms from heroics (see the
gearup sticky) until you have the 58 emblems of conquest to purchase the tier helm.
But if you really don't want to wait, get a
Frostsavage Cowl made. It's much more tuned for discipline, and you won't be wearing it long enough to miss the meta gem on Wintry Doom.

Psst, the OP said
Discipline Priest (so you want an
IED, not an
EED (or an
IED)).
Edit for content; it's not worth buying gear at 80 if you can heal the easier heroic as soon as you ding (hint: if you don't suck you can). In a couple of days, you can easily be geared for Ulduar/ToC (my disc priest dinged on the 18th August, tank healed on my guild's first kill of Hodir on the 23rd).
Yes, I did mean the IED :P
I dont have the free playtime to heroic farm, my main gets the lions share, however I do enjoy healing, and want to gear as effectively as possible
