Yes, it is very viable in low levels, but blows at max.

I feel that if shockadins had an alternative holy power outlet (WoG until 81, then Inquisition) that provided a damaging attack, they could be even more "viable" for groups.
Why should it? I don't get it. I don't get why people want every spec to be able to do damage. If I spec Holy it's because I want to heal, not out DPS others.

Just want everyone to know, you can spec shockadin and out-DPS your entire group (tank included) from levels 15 to at least 46 (where my shockadin is now).
In Prot, I out-DPS'd almost everyone 'til I hit mid-level Wrath content. I could count the number of DPS who out-DPS'd me on one hand, before then.
But then, I was also an Enchanter, and had full BoA gear. *shrug*

Pro: Fun. You can do slightly more damage. You can do more questing.
Con: At the expense of talent-points which help you to heal. You may be wasting charges of Holy Power on Inquisition, just to try to squeeze out more DPS (instead of casting Word of Glory), but still find yourself disappointed in your ability to do damage.
I gave Shockadinism a try while doing the TB dailies. I could do the dailies better, but it made me no more survivable or victorious vs. Alliance gankers. (And I murder people on both my Priest and my Shaman!) Instead, I returned to my regular Holy spec and quest with guildies out there. The two or three of us are unstoppable, then.

Exorcism is deceptively good, however, the DoT it applies does not roll and so does not add up to a very meaningful increase in damage output at all.
Last time I used this glyph, the DoT did indeed tick every 2 seconds.

You say that like it's hard to do. :P Lol. Most players leveling aren't pro or experienced players who don't even use Recount, or don't care about DPS at all.

One wonders if that is a con.

Regardless of how "awesome" Exorcism is? If you're relying on FoL to proc a free/instant Exorcism, then your DPS will still be crap. If you're spamming Exorcism, then you'll quickly OOM. It's lose-lose for a Holydin. =/
And I wholly support the murder of baby seals.
