I can't really speak to the needs of a level 31 pvp shadow priest, but damn was that a fun read...
When I was leveling, I made it a semi-priority to delve far enough to the Disc tree to grab meditation. This is basically one of the few ways that Spirit actually provides I5SR regen for a priest; do remember that Spirit Tap only works if you get the killing blow (I think). I know it would detract from throughput gained via the Shadow tree, but if you start stacking 'shadow wrath' gear, then I think you will be ok. Granted, I never pvp'd as Shadow (any battlegrounds I did while leveling was as Disc), but by throwing a large number of DoTs around, you are almost always within the 5SR, so regen is kind of non-existent.
I have, also, read that shadow is basically a massive mana hog between levels 1 and ~50 (until you get Vampiric Touch). As such, it could just be that your problems are universal. I wouldn't really know since I did Holy/Disc until 50 then switched to Shadow.

I used to twink shadowpriest in TBC. long time before they "redone" twinking, added lvlingitems etcetc. Was one of those "pure" shadow wrath priests. had best possible gear i could get for +dmg. cant remember how much i rolled with, but was around 250sp if i remember correctly. at lvl 29. as a draenei priest with chantise+bombs i could take anyone 1v1. but with groups i just dotted up everything, throw a few mind blasts/mind flays to assure kills and tried to run away(+ heal myself). But that rarely worked out so usualy i would die, stand at spirithealer and just see all the killing blows rolling in. obviously with shadow wrath i had low hp and low mana.
This was also blackout times though.
In WSG i made my round :: Berserker > Regen > Berserker > Regen . and if i didnt meet to many people at the same time(more than 4) i could easily wind up 30+ kills without dying.
having another set for survivability/longetivity wouldnt be a bad idea.
also: loved the reading tbh ::)
