What about DoTs? Is it worth casting a few, or is that a waste of mana?
Have you considered going discipline? You can smite freely cause it heals the person with lowest health. So you do damage WHILE healing and you pop the angel thing when you have build up 5 stacks of smite, which increases healing and damage done, so helps out as well. I went smite spec while leveling priest number... *counts* 3. First I went for disc healing without smite, but like you, I felt very bored, so respecced to the smite thing and now I just DPS in instances. I healed in Outland only by smiting in instances, even boss fights, it's really good.
I've been pretty damn inactive here lately, if you really want advice about anything including macro advice / anything about priests, try to poke me in-game instead or get Amarthana to spam me on skype :p
