Wands generally do signficantly more damage than an equivalent level melee weapon for a priest.
case in point:
item level 60 wand:

59.7 DPS -- Talented is 74.6 DPS
item level 60 staff:
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=52121
51.4 DPS -- needs 116 STR to equal wand, needs 324 STR to equal DPS of wand + wand spec.
A holy / disc priest does a decent amount of wanding when solo. At least I did when I was soloing as holy/disc. 25% increase in that damage is pretty significant.
