Hello i'm a troll priest from chamber of aspects,first of all i'd like to congratz you all for being top guild at current content :)
I would like to express some questions about shadow priests that have occured to me hoping that you'll have time to answer
i recently started raiding again as shadow after a break and want to improve my dps http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... ademoskilo
1) Am i in position atm to go for no imp mb spec? (i think that my haste is pretty low atm for that)
2)Considering i play from a computer with connection that has at the very least 250 ms should i quit Mf clipping and just finish casting first and then Mb when it's on Cd?
3) Have you reached at a conclusion of what talents are best for the release of patch 4.01 ? http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?priest#a5JaPn3B,,12942 how does this build seem to you?
4)I've been reading some sites and forums about rotation in next patch but none of em have a complete opinion there are differences everywhere.Have you reached the conclusion about what rotation seems to be best dpswise ?
Thanks in advance for your time reading this looking forward to an answer :)

Hey,
First I'd like to mention that you are a bit over the hit cap and would benefit from swapping Valanar's Other Signet Ring, which would result in 294 hit (which is only 5 over the cap). Also, you are wearing a lot of gear pieces which have spirit on them. Try to aim for the best pieces from here: http://www.shadowpriest.com/viewtopic.p ... a4&start=0
On the other hand Cataclysm is coming soon (4.0 in 1 week anyone?) which might explain those spirit items (if you want to stack spirit for leveling, I wouldn't do that tho). They are sub-optimal at the moment.
Your haste is a bit low and I encourage you to use simcraft to find out what's best for you. With your latency I'd advice you just finish your mf third tick and then mb. That latency makes timing very hard. If you can do it though, then just keep on clipping.
About 4.0 and the spec you linked I'd skip Paralysis and put the talents to Masochism. That's a great talent especially while raiding when you have a lot of damage incoming every now and then. We'll still have to see how oom we run during raiding/leveling and how it will change with Cataclysm items. I'd use Masochism while leveling as Paralysis is kind of meh. I like to have the mobs come to me while I kill them so I can loot them faster.
As you already said there has been a lot of talk about the rotation in 4.0 and people still have different opinions about Dark Evangelism and Dark Archangel and whether to Mind Spike or Mind Flay during DE and DA phases of your rotation etc. I think it's still a bit too early to consider anything written to the stone as we'll most likely still see changes. Myself I believe DA should be used to at least regen mana, we'll see what kind of dps loss/upgrade it will be. We'll have more information once the patch is out and all the last minute changes have been made. For now you can only log on ptr and run some tests or read http://www.shadowpriest.com
