I queue for DPS as Disc all the time, it's fun and the extra heals make heroics go super duper fast fast. People ask why I'm DPS'ing as Disc, I ask them why they're worried about an account they don't pay for. Rarely are there any questions after that 
Because you're in my group, and if things go bad you're the first to be blamed. You may pay for your own account, but you're on 4 other peoples clocks when you join a group.
Why am I on those 4 people's clocks....is their time more important than mine?
Actually, yes. Even assuming that everybody's time is worth exactly the same amount there are 4 of them and 4 > 1.

EDIT: Healers wait almost as long as DPS on my server 
Wow, that's crazy to imagine there are clusters where there are that many healers. The only thing faster than queuing as a healer for mine is queuing as a tank (instant every single time).
Disc is definitely fun for me in 5 mans. I tried Holy just to see how it was and honestly I just found it incredibly boring. I've got my fingers crossed that they iron out the raid play of the smite spec disc priest because for me doing both DPS and healing keeps me more entertained than either alone.

I've never even pondered Holy, I PvP a ton and cast times in pvp are just bad. One of my cousins that plays was leveling/questing as Holy on her first character so she could heal for quick dungeon queues. Once I talked her into dual spec and Shadow/Disc, she laughs at the thought of playing Holy. It's a shame, the tree has a lot of potential but the talent panel holds true in the sense that it's the middle child who simply isn't getting the same amount of love.

That's so flawed it's beyond debate.

Uh no, I was even going to attempt to explain to you how saying that he is responsible for 4 other peoples play time doesn't make any sense but it was like trying to explain why a stream flows down hill...
Each person is responsible for their own play time, and I play knowing that any group could wipe at anytime. It is beyond foolish to say that the person who has wiped your party has cost you money.

The funny thing is, how the hell would a wipe be my fault. I am dps/healing simultaneously. In essence, you could combine my dps/hps to get an overall performance, and odds are it would outdo the dps or hps of everyone else in the group on an individual basis.

Sarcasm w/o emoticons can be tricky...especially for us intelligent, analytical, perceptive and really really really good looking types.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.
