Experimental hybrid. MythicSim simulates it with 19 points in Discipline, 25 points in Holy and 7 points in Shadow Magic, race Undead, and ranks it among the damage dealers.
A Holy Priest on the attack
The Holy Priest heals; this build has it cast Smite and Holy Fire instead, with Discipline and Holy talents. A short detour into Shadow strengthens Shadow Word: Pain.
Damage, opener and rotation of Smite
Smite (53.2% of the damage), Holy Fire (20.4%) and Shadow Word: Pain (16.5%) weigh the most in the simulation.
Before the fight the character uses Dark Sacrifice (5 s before) and Holy Fire (3 s before). The simulator’s priority list starts with Inner Focus, Shadow Word: Pain, Devouring Plague and Holy Fire; the full list, with the condition of each line, is in the Rotation block below.
On the talent side, the build takes Power in Light, Twin Disciplines, Holy Precision and Meditation to maximum rank in Discipline, then Holy Specialization, Divine Fury, Spiritual Guidance and Twilight Focus to maximum rank in Holy, then Shadow Focus and Improved Shadow Word: Pain to maximum rank in Shadow Magic.

Simulation details
What the simulated character does during the 120 s of the fight, where its 650 DPS without trinkets come from (673 DPS quoted above with the trinket pair), which effects it has and in which order it casts.
Damage breakdown
Each line is an ability: the damage per second it adds, its share of the total, how many times it is cast in a fight, the damage of an average cast and, for a lasting effect, the part of the fight where it is active.

What the Smite simulation does not tell
MythicSim plays one scenario only: a single target, a short fight, the gear described by the credit line. Neither a multi-boss raid nor PvP enters the calculation, and its simulation engine is not the game.

To compare with the official Priest trees, see Priest Discipline, Priest Holy and Priest Shadow Magic. Smite also appears in the WoW Forever Tier List, and every build of the section is on the hub.
