Thx guys ^_^ so, why do you think that?
Shadow essentially has few ways to get targets off their backs. Psychic Scream is a dispellable Fear, Psychic Horror a long cooldown, Mind Flay requires you to stand still, and Silence obviously doesn't lock down melee chasers. Mages and Rogues, however, have a very wide array of spells to give openings to the Shadow Priest, allowing him to show the true power they can unleash. Through stuns, freezes and slows, their own cooldown-based "shouldn't get hit" nature goes well with a potential support healer that a Shadow Priest can be in a tight spot (although you shouldn't rely on this too much).
In adittion, their main sources of crowd controls do not interfere with a Priest's main CC sources (Fear/Horror), never causing DR issues.
Ferals work well for the same CC/Peel capacity (albeit weaker than a Rogue/Mage's), with Cyclone arguably being the best CC in the game. They also bring Innervate to help in a pinch. Meanwhile, the Feral benefits from the Priest's offensive dispels and over-time damage style which combines well with the Druid's.
