quoted for those that cannot access mmo-champion from work etc:

Priest:

i was vote kicked from a 5 man for trying to keep PW:shield up on the tank and used it on dps that pulled agro. i was even called a noob... i just said but im a disc healer /shrug but i was healing a nother pug in like 5 sec. did hos in 25 mins with no deaths and never droped below 50% mana.

i am new to disc but after looking at my build i was thinking that i shod be useing PW: shield.

at the start of every pull i put PW:shield and PoM on the tank and keep PoM and PW:shield up and fill with Flash heal and the spell that starts with a P... cant rember what its call
is this not the right way to be doing things...

oh and i do use renew some as well i till thow it on some DPS that got some AOE dam

GC:

If a group is getting on to you for using PW:Shield as a Discipline priest (or jeez even a Holy priest), you have my permission to say "GC says you're doing it wrong."

Maybe the warrior thought you were "rage starving" him or her.

if i had a priest, i'd macro that

LOL!

Holy priests shielding the tank are only "doing it wrong" if there's also a Disc priest on healing duty.

This is pretty much all I heard when playing my priest that I should not use shield on the tank because of rage generation.
Has this been changed in a patch or have I've always been misinformed about it's effect?

[Thoryn]

Was changed just after wotlk was released I think

[Nariaki]

Not to mention Rapture, which means a Disc priest shielding a tank "instantly energizes them with 8 rage" (for warriors - replace with appropriate scaled value of RP/mana/energy for other classes).

[Sucuriju]

Ah, good to know.
