I began looking at some of the top end shadow priests spec's recently and I've noticed that they have shifted points out of focused mind and meditation to go 4/5 or 5/5 shadow weaving.

I was just wondering what the reasoning behind this was?

Going 3/5 shadow weaving with 2 shadowpriests usually allow for stack applications at a reasonable rate on a single target, and the only reason I could see going 4/5 or 5/5 is for dpsing adds? I could see this might be beneficial for fights like KJ and M'uru. For KJ you want to dot up the sinister reflections and shield orbs as soon as possible and getting 2 guaranteed stacks per spriest with 4/5 or 5/5 shadow weaving is a lot better than the possibility of getting only 1-2 (if RNG hates you). For M'uru I could see getting 2 guaranteed stacks on void sentinels along with misery might help in dpsing them down as well.

Is this the only reason why people are speccing 4/5 or 5/5 into shadow weaving or is it something I'm missing.
