I chose this for PvE solo play mainly, I'll work on a better group spec when I need it (only level 44 atm). I'm still torn between Improved Mind Blast (2.5 secs off the CD) or Shadow Weaving (3 to 15% more shadow damage). I also did consider dropping the points in Holy too and putting those in Shadow Weaving, but 2 points to gain 70% chance to avoid interruption to healing spells is too good to pass up IMO.
With the above build my technique is to pull a solo mob from max range in Shadow Form with;
Mind blast > Vampric Embrace > Mind Flay.
By that point they are toe-to-toe. Then;
Shadow Word: Pain > Mind Blast > wand wand wand to death.
After the kill Spirit Tap gives me all my mana back and Vampric Embrace keeps me healthy. I generally only have down time if something goes wrong, a couple of resists, a bad pull or whatever. I very rarely have to sit and drink.
Casters are a bit different as they interrupt the initial Mind Flay. Not really found my ideal technique for them yet but currently I drop Mind Flay and add in 1 wand shot between SWP and the second Mind Blast. I'll use Mana drain instead though if they're a tough mob, or even Fear and Mind Flay if there's room. Silence in there too somewhere.
God I love being Priest, great class once you get over the mid 20s
