I love Vuhdo. With MC being more common for priests in Cataclysm, here are a few things I found out the hard way about Vuhdo and Mind Control.
Auto firing trinkets - While mind controlling a healing mob (adepts in SM Library are good for testing), Vuhdo will autofire your trinkets with certain mouseclicks. If you have a trinket like Darkmoon Card Tsunami, you are going to throw an AOE and cancel Mind Control.
For instance, for testing, I put "target" as my Vuhdo action on left click for both friendly and hostile targets. Then I mind controlled the Adept. Clicking on myself targeted me and nothing else. Clicking the adept's Vuhdo focus frame targeted him and fired my trinket (breaking mc).
Valid Spellcasts - Let's say I put PW:Shield on my left click, then MC an adept. Clicking myself does nothing, since the adept doesn't have PW:Shield. However, clicking the NPC's Vuhdo frame (focus or target) causes me to throw a PW:Shield on the NPC and break mind control. Now you have a hostile npc coming at you that you gave a shield to.
These little quirks caused more than one wipe in Vortex Pinnacle last night, but were good for a few laughs in vent. I'm thinking that turning off Vuhdo spellcasts and trinkets (but still being able to target or auto-target) when you are channeling MC would be a good thing.

edit:
I got around the problem by just turning off autofire trinkets and working them into my macro:
#showtooltip Prayer of Healing
/use 10
/use 13
/use 14
/cast [target=player] Power Infusion
/cast Inner Focus
/cast [@vuhdo] Prayer of Healing
