whoa way to be negative about... well just about everything;
"you have to spec into a bunch of crap that has little to no use in PvE in order to survive in PvP" - well yeah... thats pretty much the same for all other classes of the majority of specs, its not something unique to shadowpriests, nearly every single class (if not all) will fare better in a pure pvp build for pvping.. kinda sounds like common sense to me.
"being stunned for 6-8 seconds " unless you are fighting a rogue/prot warrior i'm not sure how you came up with this...
"Yup we get a absorbtion shield which in Shadow spec will absorb about 3-4K.....thats at least one white damage swing from a melee class now-a-days" - again this is silly, unless said swing is a crit and comes from someone wielding a whack off 2 hander, you are over exaggerating. A shammy/rogue/feral druid can't get 3-4K on a normal weapon swing, it just doesn't happen...
And jeez man you whne about every single spell because it has a CD, or requires channeling or takes time to do its damage, what do want? all spells to be insta cast nukes? at least be realistic in your complaints ...Sp's may not be as awesome for PvP as some classes right now, but you do have the tools to survive if you play it correctly.

I completely agree with NhaTrietHoc here, if you are serious about PvP, don't roll up in a PvE spec/gear/glyphs and complain about being steamrolled by people who have a PvP set-up.
Westrock2000 you mentioned a "spammable nuke". Have you not heard of mindflay? last time i checked that has no CD... Jeez the amount of complaining you do about SP's is crazy. And btw why are you complaining for lack of a spamable nuke in a PvP setting anyway? if your opponents are stupid enough to let you stand there DPSing your heart out unhindered then you should destroy them anyways...
And the CC you mentioned, fair point but you forget that Roots, Cyclone, Deathcoil, Fear, Slow (arc mages) are all
single target
. Howl of Terror has a cast time (unless specced), as an SP you can run into a group of 5 people and
insta
fear all of them. Last time i checked you also have a skill called Psychic Horror which causes a horror effect, and disarms your opponent. SP's are not as Underpowered as you seem to think...
You get a free "get out of movement imparing effects" free card with Imp Shadow form + Fade, you have a silence, and a build in Slow on MF, you also have 90% reduction of all damage effects for 6 seonds, useable whilst stunned/feared etc.
Fair enough you may be getting steamrolled by Melee classes, but get back to us when you are sitting smiling with 800 resi before you complain about that...
