Priests = Mana Hog? / Holy Vs. Dispcipline

I have a 61 Disp(39)/Holy(13) priest. I have the worst mana regen problems. I have Meditation and Mental strength but i regenerate mana so slowly. I tried adding stuff with more plus spirit but 100 spirit only gave me about 75 more mana regen while not casting and the worst part is i lost all the intellect, plus healing/damage and stamina items. Personally it seems like intellect may be a better pool to use than spirit as 1 int = 15 mana. More mana means more healing. Right?

I have been shadow prior and felt like a mana hog then but at least i had spirit tap.

I use water often and it helps a million. But on teams in dungeons it seems like the team always runs off before i can sit long enough to regen all my mana. They run off because even with water it takes a little while.

I also dont feel i heal as much a priest should be able to. I have improved DS and Power infusion and my bonus healing comes to 300.

Is a discipline priest even useful enough to be worth having? Should I spec holy? Arnt holy priests REALLY squishy compared to a disp priest?

I really like Discipline but holy is starting to seem very attactive for the healing however they have basically no mana buff. No regen and no increase. So.... from what i gather, discipline can heal for a while but not alot. Holy can heal alot but not for a while. aggggggggg WHAT??? Any advice from holy and disp priest would be appreciated.

Is there something i can do to be more mana efficient or are priests justs mana hogs?

Oh and buy the way i have tried so many different talent builds that it now will cost me 35gold if i decide to.

Thanks.

ME again. Would Intellect gear be good for a holy priest and spirit gear be good for a Discipline or vice versa?

+300 healing isnt gonna be enough as you can get that off 1 piece of gear, try getting some +healing gear and your heals will be larger.

should see some good quest rewards soon to gear that up some.
