A friend and I just finished leveling out first characters to 70. We both chose rogues, which means we roll for the same gear, and have a lot of trouble getting into the same groups for 5 mans.
Because of this we have rolled new characters. As we want to do a lot of instances we decided to go with a tank and a healer. He rolled a warrior, and I rolled a priest. I have a shadowpriest at level 40 who I love, but she is on a different server.
My question is, given that the warrior will likely go arms or fury for leveling, and prot later, I'm after advice on how to spec. I am definitely going holy/disc later in the game, but its a long way from level 8 to 70.
In the mean time, is shadow the best spec? Coming from leveling a pair of rogues, things are taking an awful long time to die, so I'm thinking that if I dps we will level quicker.

I'd recommend shadow to start. I've tried duos with both a pally and a warrior at lowish levels and at that stage the DPS is nice while there's really nothing you can't handle healing. Once you get VE, the passive healing alone will get you through most duo encounters, with maybe the occasional Renew tossed out for really hard stuff. So for the most part, you're focusing on DPS but healing at the same time, without even having to think about it. It's quite fun - there's no place you need to be afraid to just go charging in to. :)
I think you ought to take level shadow while the warrior will go with his arms or fury. You won't need Prot or Holy near these level and you guys sound like you want to level fast.
And just something to add, if your friend was a paladin, I'd recommend to go Holy or Disc, and for the friend to go Prot. I was incredibly impressed with the exp gain per hour when my 25 pally was multi-mob grinding with a druid simply healing and Moonfiring runners.

I've been disc since day 1 and am currently level 57. I rolled this toon with my husband, who plays a fury warrior. We eat up orange, and often red, quests like cookies and I love it. Yes shadow is a quick-leveling spec but if that's not for you then you might try disc.
That's my 2 copper :) Best of luck!

I started a priest to level with my brother, with him playing a warrior, and it is a blast!
You can do quests that would be much too hard for only you, and you no longer need to worry about finding tanks and healers for instances. I specced shadow, but I don't really think it makes that much of a difference with a warrior buddy. Since it takes awhile to kill one mob, just pull multiple mobs. I found that this makes the killing go by faster (because it is alittle more exciting!) and it helps you practice your healing.
