Shadow is still the best leveling spec. Try and get hierlooms.
Each point you gain each level with shadow improves damage, therefor each point you gain makes the leveling process easier

Those who say that it is have not levelled a priest in the modern climate, nor have any concept of which numbers are bigger than which other numbers.
And you have proof of this yes? You 100% know that i have no concept of the numbers a priest can put out while leveling in 3.1? Gosh i wanna be just like you!
urthermore, since the premise is already estabilshed that Shadow does not give any more regen than Holy does, levelling as Holy with heirlooms is superior to levelling as Shadow with heirlooms, so the point is utterly moot.
I would love to see where your getting this info from. Considering the majority of spells in the shadow tree increase damage, decrease mana amounts and improve critical strike chance/amounts. where is holy's equivalent to this? your point just became
moot
It is no use asking "old priests" what they know. If they've not levelled a priest with the new patch changes, they won't have a clue what they're talking about. Fortunately for you, sir, I have levelled a priest very recently, and probably will level even more priests when major changes present themselves -- primarily to ensure that my data is accurate and practical, not hypothetical and worthless.
as have i. and im still in the process of leveling him. Old priests are knowledgeable about the class. They can adjust there information and know whats best. New priests, it seems, think they are god's gift to the world and talk utter BS. Your information is good, but your people skills are pathetic.
Shadow still has more throughput and less downtime than holy or disc. The cast times of all your offensive spells are long and, subsequently, increase your grinding time. Shadow still has the highest DPM spell in the game, Mind Flay, which can now crit. Mind flay's damage is increased with out DoT, SHadow Word: Pain, making the glyph of smite moot or lackluster
Shadow's damage will always be superior to holy or disc. It doesn't matter how you put it, each talent point improve your DPS and efficiency.
heirlooms are not a waste, chances are if your making an alt, you have already gotten most things from badges and will probably have an abundance of them stashed. One trinket is good enough but the shoulders are paramount. If you dont have badges, Chances you have you have Keeper Stones. Go to winter grasp and get the shoulders from there
Its up to the OP what he decided, but 90% of players still say that shadow is still the best way to level a priest. DO it and see for yourself. You can always respec.
