Discipline Priest have great ways out of all bad situations, but always keep an eye on your mana. This spec doesn't have a rotation, but here is all spells that you need in raids.

Power Word: Shield -> Penance -> Prayer of Mending -> Flash Heal -> Renew -> Binding Heal -> Prayer of Healing

Power Word: Shield – Most Used ability, spam on anyone who doesn’t have Weakened Soul

Penance – Burst heal, should be used on tank or low health group member

Prayer of Mending – Heal that bounces multiple times before it runs out and Heals on damage taken

Flash Heal – Most used Raw Heal as it’s affected by talents

Renew – only useful on tanks

Binding Heal - Heals you and your target, heavy mana cost though

Prayer of Healing – Only actual Raid Heal, useful when 3 people in group take damage
