Here are my 3.1 builds for duel spec priest. One talent tree is for holy and the other is for shadow. Please note these are my initial attempts of incorporating 3.1 changes into my talent tree. I have not tested these builds under raid environment. I derived these selections from emperical research and backgrounds of playing a priest for the last 2.5 years.
This is meant to be a starting point to help other priests who are panicking because of their empty talent tree. It is likely these selections will undergo further optimization as I start raiding.
Further, please note that talent selection can't be made in an vacuum. Your playing style temperament and situational awareness will more than compensate a few un-optimized point selection in talents.
With the disclaimer out the way. Here is the first spec.

Thanks so much. The only questions I have as a lvl 72 leveling toon is: I had points in spirit tap to assist in Mana regen. With our Spirit regen hit so hard, is this still something I should spec into..and at my level?
@Lytlady,
First of all I changed some of the talent allocations after I played a few heroic. I picked up 5/5 darkness and took a couple points out of disc. I will update this thread soon.
While running heroic I find it is often I will kill the mob we are targeting with a well placed SW:D. Assume my spirit tap is active I seem to need very little drinking in between fights. I ran H. VH last night with guildies and throughout I was rarely out of mana.
Since I still have significant amount of healing gears and I get a huge amount of mana regeneration from both gears and meditation.
In either case I recommend take 5/5 in spirit tap.
