Holy Nova + Rhapsody is mandatory for AoE (plus Rhapsody got buffed by 150% recently from 5 to 2 sec)
Angelic Feather for speed increase
For the Disc tree you don't really have a choice, those talents are the best dps increasing ones, try to maximise the effectiveness of your Schism during combat (ie try to have at least one Mind Blast and Penance almost off-cooldown and/or for Shadow word : Death)
Shadow word : Death + Death and Madness is a good finisher but be careful to your HP if you're undergeared. For instance on my priest I crit those for over 1K with Schism active while having almost 3K HP so I deal a bit over 1/3 of my total health back to myself
Side note, Shadow word : Pain does pitiful damage, its best use is on multiple targets and Power of the Dark Side procs
Other side note : Disc doesn't do too much damage, it can't compare to Hunters/Shamans/Druids. I think about 300 DPS on my ilvl 75 priest doesn't seem too far-fetched (never measured it, the number is approx)
All in all you can pick those talents, I think that's the best you'll get for DPS. Just beware, my priest has Dispel Magic since I ran a few old dungeons and gave it a try (not worth it in most cases), you want Death and Madness over it
