I was just about to say the same thing Minstrel, I'd include also that our Glyph for Prayer of Healing applies a small but no doubt useful HoT.
"The downside to absorption bubbles is that they're wasted if they go unused, which makes discipline priests great for handling burst damage but poor for handling DOTs and protracted damage."
In addition to Glyph of Prayer of Mending, a Discipline Priest can also choose talents that boost healing for Renew. Not to mention the fact that our shields DO absorb damage over time effects. As for protracted damage, if we're speaking of Atonement healing then that's the name of the game. Smite and Holy Fire are an Atonement Priest's mana efficient heals.
I'd also like to point out that there are two ways a Discipline Priest can specialize. One very much includes Atonement. The other is centered around direct healing, shield spam and those HoT mentioned above.
