Hi all I was reading a topic about
Fun topic: Worst arena team possible
and what I noticed is that a lot of people tend to mention a shadow priest.
This led me to think, is shadow priest a horrible pvp class?
At the moment I'm leveling one and I must say the class/spec is pretty sweet. Also a lot of the spells would be really good in pvp (dots, fears, auto self heal, movement impairing removement, sort of bubble, and even a 20% healing reducer).
Is it because they would just fall over with burst too fast. A disc's shield is pretty sweet but a shadow one is of course lower and penance heals super fast.
So basicly what I wonder is this:
Is shadow priest terrible in pvp?
And if yes, why? (survivabilty?)

Played well, it goes well. End-game, however, Shadow's expectations tend to be lower than most classes/specs. Our DoTtish style tends to ve hard to settle our fullest damage, and dispels hurt us bad. We are also terribly squishy post a couple of cooldowns in Arena.
It is not impossible to reach high ratings as shadow, it's been done, but there's a difference between Viable and Competitive.
Not to mention our primary source of CC being quite weak ( Fear), and going quite bad with classes such as Warriors and Warlocks because of the shared Diminishing Returns.
Battlegrounds and World, however, as well as 1v1 duels... Shadow is pretty strong.
