I've been working my way through BRD in 5-man groups, as a level 57 Undead Shadow Priest. Now, my character is a pure PvP build. As in, not a single talent point spent in anything that has to do with PvE - no improved Fade, no aggro reduction, no healing talents.
Well, the truth is, that you will get through 90% of all encounters fine as a priest with no investments in the holy tree, but at this remaining 10% you will find that you simply don't generate enough HPS, that is, that you will not heal enough to compensate damge dealt to your main tank. So yes, the first 10 points in the holy tree really pay off.
I hadn't invested anything in holy myself until I had hit lvl 60 though, because Shadowform is simply too good to pass on it when you do grinding. But i did notice that from lvl 58 on there are simply to many thight situations where I wished to have greater HPS.
On the other hand I found myself using shadowform rather rarely in PvP. As good as it is in speeding up grinding, I really prefer the ability to heal myself in PvP.
I would greatly recommend on investing not only 10 points in the holy tree, but also these 2 points for improved fade. These 2 points are really worth it.

Unfortunately I have found that the PvP sets for casters are not as good as the set items you can gain from running instances (that is when the informations on the WoW Homepage are correct).
