I played my priest to level 22 in the open beta with a warrior and a shaman, cleared rage and wc. I enjoyed the power of being the primary healer, and was very impressed with how my intervention influenced the battle. That being said, I needed a little more versatility than simply the heal bot.
I got to pvp a bit as a priest, and I thought it was insanely fun. I was hoping to add that extra dimension to my priest by shadow speccing and increasing my effectiveness as a DPS caster in PvP environments. Additionally, I thought taking focused casting and the improved power words would best compliment this direction.
Has anyone played a priest this way? What were your thoughts on how a shadow specialized priest fared in both the primary healer role, and the offensively minded PvP priest?
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
