My build does fine for when I heal, though I will soon be re-speccing for raids and PvP. I do fine healing heroics, though I'm usually with a well overgeared tank. Clearcasting is more of a longevity talent, and heroics aren't really longevity fights. Your healing gear is right around where mine is. Having primal mooncloth is almost like having T5, so you are pretty well overgeared for heroics, so you don't have to be any kind of optimal build for that.
33 holy / 28 disc was basically "the" season 2 healing priest build (with a couple points able to move around but not much. 1/3 blessed recovery is popular because it's mostly thought of as just a buff to make dispel spamming that much more difficult)
season 3 popular priest builds will likely be a mixture of that build and Full disc builds for the new talent there (which is even better for dispel spamming).
I'd probably tend towards blessed resilience as better for low resilience, but haven't really tried a build with focused will yet.
Holy priests have a very steep gearing curve for getting into PvP. You will get ROLLED by rogues and warriors until you get a significant amount of defensive oriented PvP gear. Make friends with Rogues and Hunters and Mages, they are the best classes to play with, because they can keep things off you better than most other classes, and that's something priests just can't do by themselves.
I'm logged out in my PvP gear, so you can see where that is with a few blues before Season 3 starts and I spend my 4000 arena points and 55k honor.
I think you can spec into a full PvP build and do just fine for what you'll be needed to do.
