I see what you're saying, but it might be too early to worry about tier 6 loot. It's not in game yet at least, it could change.
And on the bright side, tier 5 priest gear has a 4-pc bonus that increases our single-target healing, great for MT healing:

And for tier 6, we get a clever 2-pc bonus for MT and spot healing, and a 4-pc bonus that makes Renew very attractive to have ticking on people:

Regarding the "stacking the raid" argument against bringing priests, I think it clearly makes sense to have at least 2, one for fort and improved divine spirit, and a shadow priest for VE/VT/misery. Few classes stack as well as paladins, but IMHO priests are great flexible healers no matter what.
