Well, I'm holydi, so i won't be able to answer your shadow aggro questions, altho i will say that even healing aggro in higher instaes makes having a dent tank that takesare of their healer a nessity.
As for wanting shadow priests in groups, i do see that request out there fairly frequently, more frequently now that horde has paladin healers. I haven't instaed with many shadow priests sie Tame out, but am slowly learning to appriate them. As for "an we solo heal or do we need an off-healer to make things run smoothly," there is extly one boss in just one instae that i like to have an off-healer for, and that's Pihy the Lobster in Hero Slave Pens inoilfang (the guy that does the de-buff that does 1k dmg per tk until target is healed to full). Other than that, all the heros and lvl 70 instaes i've been in, ian solo heal with no problem. Honestly, i haven't been a huge fan of prayer of mending and the binding heal, our 2 new "aoe" healing spells. Just haven't gotten in the habit of using them... anybody else having a blast with them? See below for my profile, you'll see that i also went into Di for Divine Spirit, and skimped out on some of the flashier bells and whistles (that damn embarassing angel - look at me! i died! - and lolwell) in favor of a +healing, +mana, +regen utili-heal-bot build. Hey, works for me. As far as being able to solo, well, i have aompletely different set of dmgheal gear that any medire mage might be proud of, andan hold my own, tho i prefer
to hang out with one other person just so things go a bit quker. Not so sure on the tailoring question, i have a guild buddy thatan make the whitemend pies, whh have a drool-worthy set bonus, but honestly the blues i've got have ner stats. Ian't imagine life wout making my own mana pots tho. armory.worldofwaraftomcharter-talents.xml?r=Kil%27jaeden&n=Djalla Djalla - 70 Priest Sneakypoo - 62 Rogue
