Ever Doubted Yourself?

So yesterday we ran Heroic ToC, with Pogue on one of his lowers. He has a shadow priest called Slaintemhath and he still needs a little bit of gear for him before he is ready to run him through some raids. So it’s me on heals, him on DPS and I forget the rest of the group. But it was a pretty easy run…a little hairy to heal through at times with the Paletress as the second boss, but all in all…not bad. I have a new heal rotation though so maybe that is helping me out.

Power Word: Shield>Prayer of Mending>Renew
…to start with. Then since I’ve usually got the tank in focus, I just keep throwing Penance down on him, followed by more Renew…and maybe even a PW:S and a PoM if they’re off CD. Then since I have VuhDo….I watch the rest of my group carefully, throwing Flash Heals out like candy. And if it’s group wide damage, throw out Prayer of Healing…which I try not do too often as it eats my mana pool like Pacman. And possibly even a hastened Greater Heal if it’s really needed. I try not to use GH unless desperate though….definitely one of my ‘Oh Shit!’ buttons.
I just realise that I gave away my heal rotation to the rest of the guild. LOL…since I’m feeling generous, and you’re wondering how I managed to pull almost 7k DPS on Ony last night…here’s my DPS rotation.
Vampiric Touch>Shadow Word: Pain>Mind Blast>Devouring Plague>Shadow Word: Death>Mind Flayx2….and then hit MB again.
Rinse and repeat…keeping up them DoT’s all the time. Oh and on the whelps, use Mind Sear like candy. That’s how I got those numbers….shhhh, it’s a secret xD
Last night was fun, I got to play Shadow Priest instead of Discipline Priest….it felt like old times again, watching those crits bouncing around the screen and even the Holy Pally in the guild thanked me for Replenishment (Vampiric Touch- thankyou!!). My numbers were absolutely staggering, and I’m laughing at this because on single target I’m lucky if I break 3.5k….but on AoE multiple targets (the whelps) I got as high as 7k at one point. At that point I think I either passed out with shock or went to the kitchen to celebrate with a beer :) I’m still wearing T7.5 gear on my shadow spec, I’ve been gearing up the heal gear more…so with some sick T9 gear what kind of numbers will I be pulling? :D
