Ding 85 - now require advice

My duo druid and priest team dinged 85 today in Twilight Highlands. I want to finish the zone for the achievement and title.

Both have dual spec of course, but so far remain only single spec'd as dps. I have been reading a bit about the state of healing and quite reluctant to do randoms because of it. Or to phrase it another way, healing is fine, where it's meant to be, players knowledge or ability to avoid damage is not, and healers are running oom, wipes occuring because people are stuck in WotLK mode.

Well, potentially I'll spec feral again with my druid and give tanking a try. Have not tanked on him for a very long time, but my paladin tank is 68 so not totally lost the art I hope. Not sure on this though, I may just go with resto again since I've been gathering the gear for it.

As for the priest, I have no choice if I want quick dungeon queues, I have to be a healer. But which spec? This is a "new" toon, leveled in WotLK, and I was only ever disc spec. But I am hearing holy is now the better choice. I have no affinity either way, I just want the tools to do the best job I can.

I'd appreciate any advice for either the druid or the priest.
