Why do (disc) priest glyphs suck?

Seriously, these are all completely useless. I could use zero glyphs and it wouldn't change much at all besides a little survivability.
Why are they all so boring? Why are they all so useless?

Compared to what? Running Penance glyph alone has a bigger impact on how I play my priest than all three glyphs together do for most of my other characters. If you glyph Holy Fire and then never use it while running that's hardly the game's fault.

Penance is useful only in specific scenarios... and not many. Most of the time you really don't need it, only in certain fights (and the mana cut makes it worth turning off). Some people will use it even when it's not needed, and that's a cut to mana efficiency. In a lot of fights, you don't even need to move THAT much, and if you are, then you're positioning yourself poorly and exhausting mana to fix your issue.
The only good major glyphs are Inner Sanctum, Holy Fire, Smite, and Penance. Turn off Penance in a low mobility fight, and there you go. There is no choice here, they might as well be passives to your specialization. What is the point of the glyph system of there is no "choice?" The rest of the glyphs are a negative, are bad, or are cosmetic/for other specs. Those four aren't even that good; we just take them because it's the only choice we have. Yes, they're alright, but they're not impactful and nothing special. Everything except Penance could've just been a passive bonus to Discipline specialization.
And, while I haven't played many classes or specializations this expansion yet, Blood Death Knight at the very least has more choices and more (at the very least) situational glyphs that they can swap around. I've seen other things on other classes/specs as well.

They're at least as impactful on the spells they affect and more impactful looking at the time during which you benefit from them compared to most classes, which was my point. Considering how good disc mana is post hotfixes the only place I can say with certainty I'd not miss Penance glyph is Gara'jal. There's a few more fights where you can do perfectly fine without it but I'd personally keep it depending on the circumstances but even including them I wouldn't call the sum total "not many".
Not saying I wouldn't want more glyphs for disc, but if you have ideas in that direction you should probably direct them to the official forum rather than here.

I agree that the minor Glyph are useless when compared to the minor Glyphs of other Classes!
Now were they to take any three of these and make them into minor glyphs I would not mind it one bit.
Desperation
Inner Fire
Mass Dispel
Power word Shield
Reflective Shield
Holy Nova
Just read what Qtena wrote .... and no true words where ever spoken ... at least not on this form!
