Thanks heaps for the information Azuarc, most appreciated indeed, just wanted to ask another question on the discipline tree, when you say 2 into mental agi. to get 15 in the tree, does that mean you ahve to spend 15 points to get to rank 4? I was hoping on gaining a similier spec to yours but wanted improved inner rage if poss.
The build I gave had 13 points in Discipline prior to Mental Strength other than the two in Mental Agility. Mental Strength cannot be accessed at all until you spend 15 points in Discipline. Merely covering prerequisites.
I assume you mean Improved Inner Fire? You'd have to drop either points in Mental Strength or take out of shadow for that. You still need the 15 spent in discipline. There are a select few that like that talent, but I almost never cast Inner Fire to begin with. Not that you won't have plenty of levels to decide for yourself before it matters.

1) silent resolve and shadow affinity, do they stack? if so, are they both worth getting for more viability towards end game groups / raids? They seem worth it if stacking to me(-45% threat from all shadow dmg spells)
They stack as far as I know. The slight nuance is...
You won't be doing a huge amount of damage in a group normally. A priest is a healing class, and as such, that is usually what you will do in a group. Sometimes that leaves room to do more than just heal, but often it does not.
If you specifically are out to play a damage priest, you are more than welcome to take both talents. Prior to some changes in discipline that made it worth splitting up the points, I did this. The truth is 90% of the damage you deal will come in solo play though, unless you have a regular group with another priest or druid.

2)Blackout, does it...
a)have a 10% chance to stun when casting pain / mind flay?
b)have a 10% chance to stun when pain / mind flay cause dmg (ie : per tick?)
c)only effect direct damage spells (mind blast only)

A. It does not trigger per tick, but does effect those spells.

3)Fade, does it last the time regardless or does it leave if you cast/are hit etc?
It simply lasts. While fade is up, your overall aggro is reduced, and the amount you generate while it lasts is also reduced. You regain the aggro you lost at the time the spell was cast when the effect ends, but AFAIK, the spells casts during fade do not ever re-generate the missing hate.
