I also have very little PvP experience, though i do have some farming experience :P. My question to you is:
For the build that delves into mind flay, how do you really see yourself farming, i.e. what is going to be your strategy and spell order. How you want to play will determine what you need.
For me, while farming dailies for rep if I am really going for groups(think "kill ten converted heroes") will almost always end up being a Powering funsion into Holy Nova Spam, and as I am right now farming Scarlet Monastary for silk for an alt, I find that holy nova is much less brain power and probably quicker than mind flay.
Now for the purposes of the daily quests sometimes the "single target at a time" (kill 15 shadow cult members) shadow is better suited becuase, well we are still kinda squishy in icecrown. The build you had up though doesnt really play into either concept so just let me know what you think you want to do.
If you are looking for that PvP utility out of shadow, you are getting it. It will snare the target just fine, the problem is that you dont have VT, talented DP, or any other shadow talent to really help. All of the damage buffs (a total of 13 talent points) are going into two spells at this point. I agree, no real way to get those same 13 points into more damage, but at least for more survival with a more typical PvP build.
from my experience casting Holy fire and Smite, another 10% damage is not going to do much of anything. This may be where PvP is a different animal than PvE, but still, in order to make those spells a real dps market, it will have to be closer to 25 or 35%....
in short the PvP disc sides look theroretically fine, and the holy build seems to be ok, but all of the real stregnth of shadow is how it builds off of itself, the replenish and VE help with farming and soloing, while all the little damage ups along the way give it the oomph it needs to kill something.

Not exactly what you asked for but....
Been trying different specs for BG. I have tried all the cookie cutter specs of Disc and Shadow. Disc gave me alot of survivability and the power to tickle the enemy with my l33t damage. With shadow I could kill things but with the survivability of a wet paper.
So I have been trying out a hybrid spec which I am starting to like.

I am no expert so if anyone see any improvement to the build please say so, I´m here to learn from you experienced fellas.
