That's what I've been trying to say all along.

Shadow priest is a spec not a class, just like a fire mage or frost mage or elemental shaman, last i checked.

I proposed what I think is a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon on the last page -- namely, that caster raid balance depends upon having a certain set of buffs from the shadow school (curses, misery, spriest regen) available. This is not true of any other spell school.

Who's to say a shadow immune boss wouldn't be tuned to account for the loss of those debuffs? Or give casters something other than just boss dps to do during the encounter? The vast majority of immune bosses really aren't tuned very tightly to begin with. There are lots of things that could be implemented on a shadow immune boss to make up for the lack of vt/miser/cos/coe/cor.
