To answer you question about soaking on Brutallus, the biggest danger is that if you get burned and have to move, almost all of your Vampiric embrace healing disappears since you can't do damage until you get to the safe zone. As a shadow priest, you will heal almost as much as the dedicated healers, so your entire group is at risk at a crucial time. Plus shadow priests suffer more from pushback than any other class (although hunters are close).

Also, are you SURE that 5 haste is better than 6 spell damage? That puts it at 1 haste > 1.2 spell damage, and I thought that didn't occur until the 1800+ spell damage range. Anyone have some simulator graphs for current spell damage values that can answer this question?
