as Alex said, priority helps with algorithm 8 (selection of first entry) 
-- because with database is hard to predict the order of returned 
records of a select, priority ensures that the destination with highest 
priority is the first in dispatcher group list.

If you want to send 1/3 traffic to A and 2/3 traffic to B, you can add 
the address of B two times in destination set.
