I'm reading everywhere for disc healers, about Smite. Why?
When I'm healing heroics I do this: PW:S *tank* > PoM *tank*> Renew *tank pulls by now* > Flash Heal when needed. I'll PW:S and Flash Heal DPS and myself when needed and refresh of course on the tanks.
Yet I'm seeing a lot of people talking about smite proc or smite this or smite that while healing in disc. Am I missing something that can make me a better healer?

I must admit, your post made me lol.
Your problem is that you're ahead of times Kupo - Smiting while healing will be a viable option come Cataclysm, which is why we're discussing it now. Right now, you don't really ever need to Smite.
That said, some people who are trying to optimize right now do cast the ocassional Smite simply to add a little bit of damage. The thing with priests right now in WOTLK is that we never run out of mana, so when there's nothing to heal, you might as well add a bit of damage.

Beta talk I presume.
Or smitespec talk.
Neither is of much concern until you get better gear, then smitespec is interesting to see if you can outdps people as a healer.

*sigh of relief*
That's good to hear. I was kind of in a freak out mode. I was questioning my styling of healing. Good to know I'm doing decently. I know I do need to respec to improve my Disc Spec. I did manage to heal HHoR this morning which was interesting, too bad nothing dropped for me.
Thanks for letting me know =]

Do you never use Penance?
And Smiting at the moment is just to pass time. I'm DPSing while healing on my shaman already because she doesn't run out of mana and doesn't have much to do half the time in heroics, and she's not very geared.
