Shadow Priests rock for PVP.

It's good to have 1 in a raid.

That's about the extent of their usefulness, though. Get used to being worthless to a 5-man.

o.O Mind control, misery, fear, additional mana for your healer, not only that if you're not retarded you can shift out and throw out a renew, and don't forget about PW: Shield.

Priests are damn fun to play, they destroy in PvP, plus they look badass

Well, I phrased that badly, shadow priests are actually great in 5 man groups.

Trouble is that you won't get invited to 5 man groups that need what you can do. People will only ever send you a tell looking for a healer. And then you're all "lol I'm dps/support" and they're all "o srry bai"

I play a holy priest, as far as healing goes it's rough...I mean, I'm a good healer and it's not like I'm not useful in raids or to 5-mans but I do get the feeling that you really dont need a lot of holy priests, maybe 1 or 2 for DS and such but the rest of your healing slots are better served with pallys shamans or droods.

As far as shadow goes, I love shadowpriests and I love being in a group with one because I can save my mana pots. =)

Can't say much about PvP because I don't do it, but being a holy priest in arena sucks.

I've played a priest since release, specced holy and never looked back. So if you're interested in group, raid, or PVP healing I can write up a few pointers, if you're thinking of going shadow, I don't know much about how to do it properly.

Which were you thinking of going?

If you're relying on random tells to find a group, I suggest you find a new guild.

Paladins are the most mana-efficient single-target healers. In instances such as Shadow Labyrinth, you will always be passed up for one.

Druids are the most mana-efficient group healers. Their HoTs will always repair damage faster than you can.

Priests are a good blend and the only one with a reliable aggro-drop.

Shadow Priests are excellent damage-dealers and good at PvP, but you will very rarely find a group willing to tolerate a shadow priest.

I think shaman have the most reliable agro drop in the game, because feigning is for pussies.

I dunno, towards the end of my play (3/5 T4 5/5/51 Prot warrior with 47% dodge + parry) I could get by in non-heroics with just the Shadow priest's buff healing me.
