well this is the reason i put " move the spirit tap points into inner fire....
i dont know about you, but when im shadow, i like to do alot of dmg...and i usually do....dunno my specs make sense to me, but then again, i play different than most people...and it seems to work well for me..
all these discussions really come down to are ...what are your prefrences...and what is your play style...im an aggresive priest...i dont play hop around and dot...and heal...i play...ok lets try to burn the target down as fast as possible.. this method does have its flaws...but about 80% of the time it works for me...and now that i look at it...i agree with Primar...Shadow Affinity, may prove uselss in Wotlk just due to the fact that Tanks have all those new glyphs, talents, spells, etc. to grab even more aggro...and theres even new chants u can get to pick up aggro...so...
for me, im a firm believer, that if you are going to spec into a certain tree...you should just go full in that tree....my full disc spec works very well...even against new lvl 77+ opponents, or maybe i just know how to play with my spec...and as far as my shadow spec...atleast for pvp...i am like Seneca...i used to be hardcore into shadow before the whole sunwell crap came out...and i always based my spec on max dmg, max crit, and max hit...cuz the quicker u can burn your target down the better...shadow isnt a survivability spec...its about dmg...if u are going to go shadow...u may as well just base the whole spec on dmg, crit, hit, etc.....disc is survivability...so u wanna go for all the survivability and mana regen talents...and holy...u just go full holy...for all the plus to healing etc.....
ive topped dmg in av, ab, wsg, and eots as shadow, disc, and holy....so i must not be too bad when it comes to figuring out good pvp specs...i do admit i have trouble with pve...just due to that i am more PVP than pve....so...
i have topped on healing, as shadow, disc, and holy...topped kills as shadow holy and disc...ive topped the charts in everyway...not bragging, just stating the truth...i know my specs...and i know that work, due to firsthand experience...so u can either disagree...or try out my specs...if u want to wreck face in bgs...go with my spec...if you want to be more of a utility rather than a hero..or MvP...as i like to call it lol....then go with these specs...ive literally tried every spec out there...and the 3 i have....i have only 1 i use for disc...1 i use for shadow, and 1 i use for holy...i dont mixmatch talents, aside from maybe throwing in a few points in another tree....i found these specs through much trial and error...so if i put a spec up...its most likely a decent spec...well as far as pvp goes...look up Sisterdeath on Ursin, maybe u know me, if u do, check the charts sometime...im not lying :P
im sure all of u are probably all-together...better players than i...i have no doubt about that...but for me my specs work very well with my play style...as im sure do urs...so...

i dont think any persons spec is really that bad, just i see some flaws...but i see flaws and notice flaws in my own specs...but, i feel that the specs i have for all three different types...are well thought-out and were based on many sistuations, i prolly went through 4 disc specs before i finally made MINE....i went through 3 shadow specs...before I went with MINE...i went through like 6 or 7 different healing and dmg specs for Holy, before I finally made MINE....so alot of my specs were made from trial and error, and my own play style...but like i said...only thing good i know for pve...is healing...anything else i can just give u a good pvp spec...sure urs may have more survivability, or dmg, or crit, thats fine...but no matter what peole say, im sticking with my specs, just due to all thr trouble and gold i went through to put these final, and perfect, for me anyways, specs together...

i also dont think that wasting like what 30 points to get down to reflective shield for shadow, is a smart idea, cuz ur missing out on alot of good talents...
these are my 3 specs for each type of priest....like i said, i went through alot of trial and error, and even gold, to get to these specs...

I personally like the First 3...but that's just me, like I said those are the MAIN specs I use...
These alternatives, are based on all the specs I've seen from forum discussions...

ur disc spec is not a disc pvp spec, as u said, its more hybrid, i do see the survivability, as blessed recovery is very nice...ive tried ur spec, i like it in some cases, but i still like mine better, not saying yours is bad, just like mine better, ifve tried alot of disc specs and eventually came up with mine, which really isnt unique, just a full disc spec, i would say talents such as improved mana burn and absolution, are not survivability based, and would be better to go with blessed recovery and desperate prayer, but i like penance, borrowed time, etc. I would, after looking at both, say your spec is most likely, indeed, better for survivability.
I use my main healing spec at 70 when i was doin bc raids, ive done everything up to bt, just not sunwell sadly :( , and topped healing in t4/t5 over people in full t5 and t5/t6...u really dont need meditation if you have alot of standing regen and mp5 already, i did however find myself oom more than our main healer, she was holy, disc...but she did better at tank heals, and i was the best at raid heals, even over druids, and u know how op druid raid heals are, i went for max healing output rather than mana conservation, due to i already had enough regen from my gear.
i do like your shadow and holy specs, but i still like my disc spec better, just due to it goes with my play style the best.
