Either equip your heirlooms or just use what you find lying around, or get from quests. There’s no reason to be spending money at this point, nor any particular advantage (beyond using heirlooms) to so doing.
That’s all, folks!
After level 50, you begin to get into the more exciting areas of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. With good gear, you can easily go to Outland at level 58 and acquire far better quest rewards. The very best gear rewards, however, still come from running dungeons.
We’re still maximizing:
Spirit > Intellect > Critical > Haste > Stamina
Check out our Disc Priest Leveling Guide: Levels 50 – 60 (incoming!).
Heirloom gear is not included in this list, but is dicussed here.
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.

If you’ve decided to create a new Discipline Priest as a secondary character, on a server and faction you already possess an 85, the world of heirlooms will open its joyous arms to you. You will do a little wiggle dance, amaze those you PUG with, and level like a speeding bullet.
It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s the ultimate in leveling or twink gear.
You can acquire your gear any order you choose, but remember: shoulders, legs, and chest heirlooms add 10% each to your leveling speed, and the cloak and ring add 5%each , so you’ll probably want to get those first.
Heirlooms can only be enchanted with enchants that will not make them Bind on Character. This limits the pool of available enchantments severely, but you’ll be able to pick up at least a few enchants to make your new awesome gear even more awesomer…er.

Once you hit 30, you’ll get deeply- and possibly fatally- involved in the new instances, notably Uldaman. At this point you are also resilient enough to do a little solo leveling again, so don’t forget to try it out (particularly in PvP).
Many excellent pieces of equipment are available for these levels at vendors and the Auction House, making this set of levels more viable for solo leveling, as well.

Most of your level 60 to 70 leveling experience will be undertaken in Outland. Quest rewards continue to offer a viable route to gearing your disc priest, but you will, as always, find better gear by running dungeons either with a dedicated group or using the LFG tool.
A great deal of gear becomes available at level 70, when Northrend ‘officially’ opens to your priest, but since you are probably trying to get to 70, I’m leaving all of those out except the BiS pieces.

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.
