All I can say is mind spike, once I got mind spike at 81 on my shadow priest
I was like WTF?? Having just leveled an arcane mage before that I couldn...t
believe how fast was mind spike killing mobs. I never use the dots on single
mobs anymore only on bosses or probilim type mobs.

As shadow mana isn't an issue even if you kill 100 mobs in a row (ofc if you
time your shadow word deaths well) the first SWD will replenish 10% mana
from talent and the second 1 will kill the mob and give me what the glyph
gives.

I use disc for arena and BG and I took talents that are important for that
purpose so I skipped atonement and I also needed some holy talents for pvp
so I couldn...t go into the shadow tree.
Why use 2 disc specss for soloing and BG when I can solo much faster as
shadow :p (a guy in TB told me yesterday he can solo probilim as shadow
without problems, I didn...t try yet myself but I doubt a disc priest can do
it)
