SoloingBuild Explanation:
Shadow raid build for more dps and raid support.




1. switch improved power word shield with meditation, you dont really need improved bubbles for raiding as spriest, but the mana regen would help you keep on going :P
2.you need 5/5 in darkness, thats not just an opinion, its a fact if you are raidin as a shadow priest without darkness you are nerfin your dps by 10 percent
3.inner focus and imp shadow form arent needed really, and would better be placed in shadow affinity. imp shadow form is a pvp talent, and i have a high enough mana regen and crit chance with my current build that inner focus proves little use. shadow affinity is key if you plan on ever using mind sear as a shadow priest, which as far as i have seen, only comes 2nd to fan of knives in aoe dmg, otherwise if you use mind sear without shadow affinity you'll die on half the nax pulls...
4.and if u add up all the switches i said it would give you a talent tree for a lvl 83 character, because we cant get that high, this is were you start to personalise your build, I normally take out 2 from imp ve ( it lowers your supportiveness slighty, but shadow priests are mana batteries and dps, not a healing totem, which is what ve is about equivalent to) i also take 1 out of improved spirit tap just do to the fact that with meditation, dispersion, and shadow fiend ( veiled shadows is needed for this little bugger), mana pots or arcane torrent for BEs and still 1 in imp spirit tap you should have pretty decent mana regen, enough for any boss fight as long as u rotate dispersion and shadow fiend around every 1 1/2 minutesish of a fight.

this also includes the proper spriest glyphs for raiding.
