Im a noob priest too (im only level 67), but there are some things ireally dont like about your build. First of all, why not improved Fort buff? Why do you want those points in holy? Why not imp SW:pain? and since you take full points in psychic scream, why no silence? This is a build I would recommend:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bVMhzhZZxMgzMtRhtEoThis is what i use atm, but i spec Holy Disc at the second i turn 70, because thats what the guild needs. Sorry for my bad english, but i am very drunk right now. going to bed, goodnighjt.

I'm relatively new to being a SPriest *also*, but I have some pvp experience... This is what I'm using currently:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bZZVMh <-------- Level 19
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bZZVMGdMh <---------- Level 29
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bZZVMGdMpR0x <------------ Level 39
It focuses on pvp however, what side of a Shadow Priest are you most interested in?

Sorry, if you just started playing how are you level 70? o.O
Not tryin' to be rude, did you power level or are these builds you would like to try in the future? Could you maybe post an armory link (
www.wowarmory.com then type in ur character name) so that myself or someone else can help you with gear selection and talent distribution? Are you primarily grinding mobs and questing right now or running instances?
Sorry/Thanks...

I would probably roll with this for casual solo/instances...
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bZZxGMdz alternative would be to swap the 3 points in Shadow Affinity for 3 points in Shadow Focus (better imo, but less useful in groops).
Other options would be to trade 2 points in Improved Psychic Scream for an additional 2 points in Imp. Mind Blast (if you're causing less threat with shadow affinity and doing groop instances you won't be fearing and might want to up your damage output a little, hurts mana efficiency compared to mind flaying tho - it does help getting killing blows to proc Spirit Tap however, as you can steal kills out from under things by Mind Blasting
Another option would be to take Imp. Fade over Shadow Reach at level 25, however I do not believe that the spell fade is even worth improving with a precious talent point. Shadow Reach and Shadow Weaving are the clear winners of this talent tier.
ALSO:// The 3 talent specs I put up earlier are worthy pvp specs at the respective levels, if that's where your interest happens to fall ;)
Hope this helps, flame if it doesn't mmkay? :D
Edit:// For gear, if you're going to take spirit tap I would recommend stacking Spell Damage/Healing > Spirit > Intellect > Stamina... This is not what you would want for pvp however. Spell Damage/Healing > Stamina > Intellect > Spirit is more applicable in that case.
