"Priests aren't healers. They either are buffing classes with Improved Fort and Spirit or you're a mana battery."
I took a few hits for dropping Imp DS in favor of Circle (which for me is fekking godlike), and let's just say I found a new guild and worked up the progression ladder with them, instead.

BS. SPriests are dps, acting as a battery is a HUGE added bonus, along with our awesome CCs, which gives the SPriest demand in raids. In fact, I'm never below top 8 dps in all of our 25-man raids, and being lower that #5/4 is rare, and my guild knows it.
Yes the GL was telling him to use the
spells
(not talents) that he had, maybe the GL had a good reason for saying that. The raid could have been lacking in healing for maiden and needed pure focus on healing, and not dispelling. I doubt that was the case, but Priests are know for dispelling almost everything except poisons. *cough cough* And Curses. And the fact that our "Dispel" is only 30 yards, in comparison to a Paladin's "one button fits all" Cleanse which is 40. (This is balanced via the offensive portion, in comparing it to a Shaman's Purge at 30 yards)
Oh and for the record, Shadow Priest DPS at the end of t5 stops scaling as well as other "DPS" class/specs do, so you start seeing some shortfall thus becoming the typical "mana battery" that still outdamages anything in t5 gear and puts out a decent chunk, but nothing compared to the Shadow Mages (see: Sacc/Destro Locks) or Deep Fire Mages, Elemental Shaman. (this is ignoring Moonkin, which opens up all new problems)

I have two level 70 priests -- one is holy (my main) and one is shadow. I'd have to say the dumbest thing ever said to me in regard to my class was, "worst healing class and worst dps class, and you made two of them. @#$%-ing noob." He was just mad that i out-healed him in every raid.
Second dumbest thing ever was on a Tempest Keep - The Eye PuG (as my guild is only in MH/BT for now). A full T6 priest kept bitching at me to stop using flash heal as much as I was and use more greater heal. My healing done was higher than his, and my over healing was MUCH lower by the end of it, which is pretty pathetic considering im not even full T5 yet. He put me on ignore before I could say anything.
You do know the reasoning behind that, right? Look at a Greater Heal 1, and compare it to your Flash Heal. Roughly the same amount of healing done, difference being 1 second and an extra 30% mana cost. Flash Heal on a Priest tends to be for those that have e-peen issues trying to compete with Paladins to be "top". Doesn't matter if you can triple healing done of everyone else, and have a 1% overheal rate, if you're oom you're useless.

I was asked today if i was resto; my guild thought that was amassing. My instant reply was, "No I'm tankadin speced." It was all funny for that reply, but then came his next response of I'm lying. I fessed up that no I was shadow.
Then his next response came.
"Ah, but I thought only shamans could heal with lazers beams."
I almost s%!7 myself.

Loved it. Always love it when people say that priests are bad. We've got the GREATEST pve healer (well, I guess shamans have totems/BL and could fall into that category) and the GREATEST support class in shadow. Between shamans and priests, raids become a lot more powerful. It's great.

Notice my sig?
Yeah, I probably healed more than DPS on my way to 70, even in shadowform. I did so effectively without pulling threat or losing a lot of players.
At 70, I'm probably not going to be a successful healer in shadow, so I respec when I need to heal, usually just for raids, and end up healing heroics.
What ticked me was a ZF run earlier on when someone asked me to do both. Um, I can either heal, or I can DPS. If I try to do both, my mana is going to dry up like a prune, and we are going to wipe.
And yes, priests can heal in any spec. I have healed heroics in disc spec w/ 0 group deaths.
yes yes, shadow can heal, but he was thinking MF was dirrectly healing a buddy of mine that was blocking his view of a mob.
And yeh, Ive looked at your sig before from just skimming wowhead and I think its one of the funnier ones out there.
I sooooo knew someone would make a point to cap what I said, xP xP xP

I have to say that was rather amusing =P
I'm normally a "retardin" which is much like "huntards" unfortunately... but at least my guild see i'm not actually a moron unlike most of my kind :)
I used to be holy and i think that this is one of the best things i have seen on these forums =P
And for the record, i'm not sure if it was meant this way but bubble doesn't dump aggro ;)

"BS. SPriests are dps"
Taken from the WWS scoreboard for SSC:
Warlock 985
Rogue 978
Mage 959
Hunter 943
Priest 800
Shaman 800
Paladin 672
Warrior 659
Druid 619
And for Brutallus:
Rogue 2139
Warlock 1946
Mage 1944
Hunter 1906
Shaman 1694
Warrior 1648
Paladin 1568
Priest 1361
Druid 908
In SSC it's quite possible for priests to top the meters. In SWP, it's very different. Shadow priests are invited for their mana returning skills and not for their dps.

you know this stats also include the healers so it's logicaly, that those classes that can be a healer drop the overall DPS recorded in WWS
It's the same with tanking classes.
