We'll have to see if Elunes adds enough dodge to be useful if I gain aggro, so I'd pop up Inner Fire and Elunes.Looks like in terms of healing power, the status quo is unchanged. Dwarven priests are still best for healing, while Humans and Night Elves are buffed for PvP/soloing power.

I still think that it was Blizzard's intention all along to make the "uglier" races more desirable for Priests; else you'd see only 1 out of 1000 Priests being Dwarves. Certainly, if you take away the race-specific Priest spells, Humans and Night Elves are more desirable (5% spirit boost, rep bonus, mace bonus, or shadowmeld, and overall "prettier"). Many people think Trolls "look cooler" than Undead but you'd have to be nuts or unaware of racial abilities to roll a Troll Priest in the past.
So, if they buffed up the other races in regards to healing abilities, everyone who rolled the "ugly" Priest races would be peeved and would demand the chance to reset their race (yeah, like that would happen). The only thing that makes Dwarves cool is Desperate Prayer and Fear Ward. Gun Specialization? Stoneform? Treasure Finding? Uh, yeah. :) All useless racial abilities for Priests.
Most Priests in the Avarice Alliance are Night Elves, despite the advantages that Dwarves get.
