Very useful in all aspects, especially the PvE rotation bit, and most aspects of the PvP guide. Hadn't thought about Scream and Mass Dispell etc affetced by hit ;)
I do have one question though and it seems you haven't adressed it anywhere in the PvP guide section unless i'm being blind... Spell Penetration. What is a "good" amount to have? Is any at all necessary? should you gem to counter maximum resistance targets (MotW + Aura/Priest buff + racial). This will evidently be different in arena's to general battlegrounding as with specific aspects of spec etc. but a small section on it would be helpful, even if its a "don't worry about this at all..."
Oh and one other thing, i know stat weighting for pvp isnt as straightforward it is in PvE where you can produce a definitave list of values, but could you perhaps suggest some good starter figures for Spriests in particular? Is 20K Hp, 15K mana, 2K spl pow etc etc a "minimum" amount.
Other than those two minor things a great guide =)

This is a very common misconception. The racial has nothing to do with Spell Penetration. It increases the chance to be MISSED by a player, hence, you need hit, not Spell Pen., to counter it. Thus, the soft cap of 4% and the hard cap of 6% on hit for most people - soft means you still miss aginst the racial trait bonuses, hard means you cannot miss.
Yes, most players in higher ratings are gemming to counter as much Spell Resistance as they can afford. You need a lot of resistance, so you'll have to do your thing through gems and enchants.
This is about Arenas, where meeting deadlines is a concern. Don't bother for anything else.

As far as I am aware, 135 Spell penetration is the number to have in PvP. :)

On PvE while leveling, why is Improved shadowform not taken?
Do Shadow Priests just live with shields up? I am trying to understand what a leveling rotation would be, not an instance rotation. The two can be very different as leveling tends to mean you get hit while instances you should not be; except for aoe/etc
See here
.
Missed that my first pass. Then it begs the question, why take it later?
Concentration Aura
+
Imp Shadowform
= 100% reduced push back.

I think what is the point of another praise on this page. Then i re-read it again and again and it's complete, comprehensive, in depth and easy to understand. What more could you ask for out of any guide? Thanks for all the info you are pro.
Well of course he is; Valandilv and Primar are probably the 2 most knowledgeable spriests that frequent the priestly wowhead forums.
