Hey, hi, looks like you just joined, so welcome! Have a cup of tea? :)
And...we have great resources already lined up. At the top of the forum is a post called "Helpful threads," and inside there is one specifically for shadow priests. Have a look, there's a ton of good stuff in there.

While yes it might be heresey for these forums to give the answer straight, instead of insisting you read the stickies.... the mana reduction in the disc tree should not be necessary in a raid situation...what do you plan on using inner focus with?....and Marterdom I assume was taken just to get down futher....
suggestion is to take the five TP's just mentioned and put them into the tier 1 talent Darkness....the 10% damage increase is Probably a better move for you. I understand the concern for mana efficiency, and for my shadow spec I instead sacrifice the shadow reach for veiled shadows, allowing more access to shadowfiend for that purpose....hope that was helpful.

If by mana reduction in the disc tree you mean the talent meditation then I strongly disagree. I am a firm believer that Meditation is a core talent for all PVE priest specs.

This. Meditation is a must-have for all priests. Period.

ImpST sucks, take ImpVampEmbrace instead.

Imp VE isn't very strong either, both talents are lack-lustre. We just have different playstyle choices.
Improved Shadowform is more worthwhile than Improved VE too.

sorry for taking so long to get back on, When I was mentioning a mana efficiency spell to get out of I was refering to
this
,
as to the discussion on spirit tap, while ST is not great for bosses, because of your three dots and a channel spell, you just might be onto something for trash, and keeping mana up while going through trash makes the raid/dungeon go faster.
More importantly for me personally is that in a boss fight, having my Crits have a residual benefit for my other spells through
this
not to mention granting me more regen so I can keep going without OOM....I see no real downturn enough to warent the gimmick of threat reduction.
P.S. a bit of math, lets say a Spreist has 600 spirit from gear, and so when
procced
will get an additional 60 spirit, and so will get an addition
6 SP
, not the best of things for two TPs, but the extra regen is nice too :)

Mental agility is a great talent, but in order to benefit from both mental agility AND Meditation you lose too many valuable talents from the shadow tree. I would not recommend going down the disco tree any further than meditation unless you really want inner focus, which is debatable in itself.
