alright. I hit 80 maybe about 3 days ago on my priest. Now i have started getting gems. I've read what stats to focus on for it but i'm not sure which gems i should get for each color socket. So i'm just wondering if someone could tell me what specific gems i should put in yellows, reds, and blue slots so that i don't mess up early on and have to go spend a ton of gold to re-gem.

Different people do different things, but you can't go wrong with Spell Power.
UNLESS, you're under your regen soft-cap. I want to start using this term actually, because I think it really drives home a point that I usually try to make. ;-) Since we're not
paladins
or
shamen
that is...
So if you find that the amount of intellect you have isn't cutting it, use
SP/Intellect gems
in your red/yellow slots until you find that you're in fine shape to get through most raid fights. There is some trial and error involved here. ESPECIALLY starting out fresh after dinging 80, you're likely to be low in intellect.

SP + spirit gems if your gear overlaps onto a shadow or holy set for blue, and the rest depends on your actual role.
Spell power/Intellect if you need it all the way if you're a raid bubbler.
If you're a tank healer, crit/sp and haste/sp gems can be pretty good, I personally use haste/sp ones because I don't really raid 25 mans, and the odd 10-man I do; I find myself on the tanks or as a support role, and I'm rather content with my crit at the minute.

I'm not exactly sure what everyone is saying with sp...Intellect is key here while still maintaining sp.
* Red Socket:
Luminous Amentrine
* Yellow Socket:
Luminous Amentrine
* Blue Socket:
Royal Dreadstone
Of course, being a fresh 80, feel free to not waste money on epic gems in gear you'll soon be replacing. Go with mp5 over spirit because it'll be quite a while before you have enough mana for 10 spi to give you more regen than 5 mp5.
Talisman of Resurgence
will be helpful in giving you a mana pool to keep going with, but by the time you get to ICC level, you need to be looking at or already using double sp trinkets.
You should follow this trend until you get around 30k unbuffed mana, or if you change it at all, gem even more heavily into mana.

Unless you use the gear for a holy/shadow spec as well.
