I found pain supression on the other hand helped in 2v2, but not decisively - if we were at the point I needed to use pain sup, then chances were we were going to lose anyway. Reflective shield just feels a bit more useful, though I really need a crapton more +healing to get the best from it I think.
So yeah, really recommend it - though I'm not high rated I'm having a lot more fun than I was with deep disc, and that's the bottom line for me  |
Good thing about picking up some shadow talents is it makes you play more offensively which is the right way to play as priest. I used to play very defensively until I tried the tri-spec and the results were good. You can still be full disc and play offensively, but I find many people don't do this, and picking up some shadow talents really changes your play style for the better.
