You're overlooking the fact that the SP priests don't have to be spamming mindflay and such. All they need is to put their dots up, DPS if possible, and if not try to survive.
If they're not a retarded team, they'll be on teh upper level of the flagroom in twin peaks, or the roof of the flagroom in WSG.
Point is, they're going to be close together. Which means they can be fear bombed. And when they trinket the fear bomb and start dispelling, they'll get feared again. And again. And again. Until the fear bombs become immune. Then they'll start dispelling. And get fear bombs. Again. And again. Etc.
Shadow priests getthe first round of fears, then they let
sin and punishment take over.

DoTs which can be dispelled, repeatedly, while the opposing dps continue to rip through them 1 by 1.

You're aware that once they become immune to the "fear bombs" that sin and punishment becomes pointless right? And that sin and punishment, having such a short duration, when spammed en mass will result in simply causing the enemy to become immune to your only form of cc almost immediately?
You must also be aware that a decent enemy in a situation like that will simply cc you 3 at a time, rotating through different players and cut your damage almost in half, leaving you without a dedicated flag team, reliable cc, sufficient heals or even potent damage?
But yeah, you've probably thought all this through.
Apparently you haven't.
Sin and punishment is a horror effect, like death coil, not a fear effect like psychic scream. Which means that you wouldn't be able to dispell them easily, and while dispelling only one or two at a time and having 18 stacks, that's going ot take a while. Meanwhile, you have maybe 3 shadow spriests cced, and one being focused. If there's 2 shadow priests attacking, then they could farm shadow orbs and spam mind spike, etc. Unless they have 3 DPS and 3 healers on defense, then they're not going to be able to CC and dispell all of the shadow priests before they down the enemy flag carrier. And if they have 6 people on defense then they're going to have 4 people on offense, and with a holy pally and prot flag carrier, not to mention the other two Spriests on defense, they're not going ot take thier flag back.
