I did the vanilla honor grind as a holy priest and loved it. People are generally very appreciative of healers in pvp. Like you said, there is an abundance of dpsers. Healers are able to make a huge impact in bgs because nobody there wants to heal.
I dont know what kind of dps priests do at 85. You forgot to mention they have fear ward. I cant remember the cooldown but it cant be more than 3 minutes. Your leader could be unfearable with that on round robin. I think you also forgot binding heal. With A targeting B targeting C, etc thats a very fast heal. Its better than penance with no CD. Also, priests have so many aoe heals you would be unkillable except by a coordinated team using vent. Theyd have to cc your entire team. I think in bgs, aoe heals outweigh a dispellable bubble. Theyre also less situational. Can they dps like a shockadin? No, but they sure can heal and thats whatbyou want to do. And if you want to cap objectives, nobody can stop you. You can kill a few people with priests but your obvious strength will be healing.
I think of it this way: is a bubble going to save me from a situation where 5 of the best healing class in the game cant keep me alive? Probably not.
If you cant tell, i like priests.

As for pwshield, wouldnt it be more mana efficient to just heal through the dmg. With five who cares about pushback. Holy priests have so many heals it wouldnt it be easier to just heal through the damage?
I just reread your initial post, Ualaa. You said you wanted offensive capability. Holy priests are probably only offensive in the sense that you can keep dpsers alive through just about anything. If you want to be able to attack groups i guess you have to take he shockadin. If you want to primarily heal, id pick the priests. They dont have plate or a shield but who can lock down all five simultaneously while theyre spamming aoe heals in an emergency.
Paladins are probably more versatile than priests because you can tank in av or switch to ret for more dps. But if healing is your goal i would do the priests.
I would not do druids simply because you already have them and it seems like you want to do something different. Switching specs might not be different enougn for you. If it was, you probably would have done that already.
