Disclamer: skip to the bottom if you just wanna get to the question. :)

Since BC came out, I seem to have come down with a case of the rerolls. Prior to the expansion I had 3 60 'locks (the first one dating back to before their talent review). It was fun until the end, when all I found myself doing was hitting the same four buttons over and over.

So with the expansion I tried a Paladin, got him to 63. I enjoyed healing but I wanted more out of my role. Then my motherboard fried,and when I finally got back, decided I really didn't want to pick him up again and took a short break, trying out several different classes including Shaman, Rogue, Hunter & Mage.

With the exception of perhaps the Shaman (maybe not) I thought back to my 'locks as I leveled up the 3 latter classes and considered what I'd be doing for most of my end-game career and questioned my decision.

Early in my days of WoW, I was turned off from priests because I'd kept hearing all they did was stare at health bars the entire time in a group/raid. I see this has changed a bit (though I would need someone to correct me if I am wrong since I haven't kept up on their issues all that much).

While I understand *every* class basically ends up hitting the same four buttons, I'm just wondering if there is any mentionable variation to the role of a priest now in group settings? I'd rather hit the same eight, than the same four. :P

Well, IMO priests are broken now. A good priest still has a role as healer in a group or raid, and shadow priests are fairly desired for their ability to dps and heal the entire raid at the same time with Vampiric Embrace. But we just keep getting nerfed to oblivion. I believe one day blizzard may actually read the Priest O-boards and realize how much they've made priests hate them.
As a healer you will probably be spamming renews and greater heals(when necessary)
As shadow you will probably hit vamp touch>-Vamp embrace>-back up while casting shadow word:pain and then power word shield>-mind blast>-psychic scream (rank 1 for mana efficiency)>-mind flay>-mind flay>-mind blast>-wand to death or shadow word:death
