ABOUT LEVELS 40-50
At the end of your 40’s, the grind might start to get to you. If you’re hearing voices, become enraged at every tank you pug (without due cause, because certainly we are all enraged at our tanks), and begin to consider re-speccing Shadow, you may want to consider taking some time out to work on your professions. This is a good set of levels in which to do that.
We’re still maximizing:
Spirit > Intellect > Critical > Haste > Stamina
Check out our Disc Priest Leveling Guide: Levels 40 – 50
Heirloom gear is not included in this list, but is dicussed here.
ENCHANTING LEVELING GEAR
An exhaustive list of enchantments would be too exhausting to contemplate, so for each piece I simply recommend one enchantment that I think gets the job done and will serve you well for most of your ten levels. Re-enchanting leveling gear is, I think, neither time nor cost effective given the relatively small benefit you’ll enjoy.

Disciplinary Action 
Really nice list, may apply it if I decide to level a heirloom-less priest some day. (Need a good challenge once in a while!)
Quick thing: Figurine – Ruby Serpent as a trinket is BoP and therefore JC-only and not really purchaseable unless the priest in question is, well, a jc.
