Yeah, and there is not one shadow priest that skipps Shadowform? Seems about right. It's sad, it's like Blizzards has said, "We want pallies to heal, and priest to vamperic embrace/touch". Thanks for makeing shadow priest one of the best classes in the game for those of us that rolled a priest to play (what we thought was going to be) the best healing class.
I rolled a Blood Elf Paladin to level with a friend who is new to the game and I am completely amazed that Paladins don't even need healing gear or to be holy speced to be almost as good as a holy priest at equil level that has sicinifant healing gear.
