Why would you not include SW:D in your rotation? Our top shadow priest uses it constantly. |
It's a significant mana and threat increase for a fairly small DPS increase. Spellsurge gives you enough mana for two SW:Ds instead of a Mind Flay every 211 seconds (assuming 10 mp5), which is only a 7 dps increase with +1000 damage. As a result, SW:D + Spellsurge is only better than (slightly fewer) SW:D + +40 spell damage if your primary focus is giving other people mana.
Also, I'm still learning how hard I can burn without pulling aggro (healing doesn't really give you much practice for that), and pulling aggro with SW:D tends to result in dying.
