I am holy so I cannot comment too much but in any raids the only help i like from a shadowpriest is to keep up my mana. Obviously keeping up VE too is helpful but you shouldn't really need to be POM'ing or shielding at all.
If people are dying on vortex then its not your fault. I'd actually be offended if my shadowpriest started to shield up people, thats my job :-)
Also making sure you are properly gemmed and enchanted is a good idea and it wouldnt hurt to level tailoring and enchanting to get the cloak and ring enchants.
Good luck!

While in the vortex no one (besides locks who can teleport out of it) can use anything besides instant spells while in the vortex, it also causes around 1.5k -2k damage every couple seconds... and as a priest of ANY spec, I feel that I should try and help my raid survive... although it probably isn't the best thing to conserve my mana =/.
The problem with this is that your coming out of shadowform to do a PoM which isnt necessarily going to heal the people it needs to, and shielding up a raid takes up mana which you just don't have because its not your job. If people are going to die they should take a pot/hs or something, not expect the shadowpriest to save them.
As a holy priest who does this with a paladin, I heal the vortex, entirely with CoH. i then let the pally take the weight of the healing until the next one while i regain mana.
There are much better options, such as an enhance shaman or someone helping top the raid with a CH when your all back on the ground than you trying to save everyone. Its not mana efficient and is one of your biggest problems. I never ever see my SP's out of shadowform, they top the meters right now, so we're happy to let them stay in it :-) Shield yourself for sure (if you can do that in shadowform) but let the healers do their job.
You shouldnt be doing this without a resto druid or a holy priest imo and it only takes one of them to keep the raid up during vortex.
Good luck!

Yeah, thank you Valandilv. I also do that on Telestra's leash deal =P.
Even though it isn't my job Vickii, It's still very beneficial for the raid when I help out with healing, and shielding people (Yes, I can do this in Shadowform...). My only problem was with mana... and now that I know how to better use the Fiend, I think I can do it more efficiently now.
No one expects me to save them, nor do they rely on me... but it helps the healers a lot, and definitely helps the raid to progress.
Ahh I'm certainly not getting at you! Its lovely when we get some help healing. But unless you have a shaman/pally combo healing they shouldn't need too much extra help.
Also I'm not sure at what scale you raid at. As i said, our shadowpriests top the meters and our healers are capable of doing this without their assistance. If you find people are dying then yes, its much better that you help out. Good luck next time!
