Ace has the formula for this. Phaedra can supply the other enchanting bits so just the essences are the issue.

Discussion
Astraea's primary role is group/raid healer.
Originally, she retained Mind Flay so that she can solo content as necessary. Her spec previous spec was 31/9/11. However, as a result of preferring not to abandon Mind Flay for soloing, she could not spec for Subtlety in the Holy tree. To make up for this issue for aggro-sensitive fights, e.g. the first part of the Razorgore encounter in Blackwing Lair, her points in Holy went to Shadow to pick up Improved Psychic Scream and Improved Fade. The build worked well and her life expectancy definitely improved in the Razorgore encounter.
After the priest review in 1.10, she was spec'd for Discipline/Holy. The key feature of her build is Force of Will and Power Infusion. She still primarily participates as a raid healer and performs admirably, although not necessarily as well as those who have spec'd deeper into the Holy tree. She has shown that she can solo content still, although she will need more damage gear to be particulary affective at this.
I originally started playing Astraea because I wanted to experience the content on the Night Elf-side of the world. A priest seemed like a good change from a mage. After Orb of Mistmantle dropped in Gnomeregan for Phaedra, the drive came to level up Astraea so she could use it. By this time, it was decided that Astraea would be a better companion for Sirrion (a rogue) and Sevanna (a mage) than Phaedra.
Astraea is named after a Greek goddess, her name meaning "star-maiden" in Greek.
