Gnome Priest
I've noticed we have quite a few Shadow Priests in the guild of late and thought it a good idea to start a discussion regarding Talent Point Distribution, Gear and the viability of us as full out DPS.
My current Spec is this http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info...000000000000000000000000503252110251123051551
However even though Inner Focus is nice when i'm running low on mana, in my personal opinion its the waste of a good point so I'm considering respeccing to the following...

I lose improved Psychic Scream, Silence and Inner Focus, but gain 15% combat mana regen full shield protection. So you ask is this a good trade-off in my opinion Yes for the following reasons.
Mana Regen - this speaks for itself, more mana more spells.
Imp Shield - Great for grinding, farming, and the occassional Mob aggro in raids/instances also good protection for a tank, AoE'er etc..
vs.
Imp Scream - Fearing Mobs can be dangerous especially in tight situations in my experience it will ultimately lead the death of the group.
Silence - This is a great spell when Grinding and Instance mobs, however a lot of mobs in the instances are Silence immune and if they aren't you typically will have a mage in the group with Counterspell which has a much lower cooldown time vs. the 40 sec cooldown on Priest Silence.
Inner Focus - Basically a free spell cast with a 25% chance to crit, 3 minute cooldown so a free spell maybe twice in a long fight, 3 times in a longer fight. But again with Meditation you'll more then make up for it with Vamp Touch also.
So what do you think?
