I have a 70 warrior, lock, SPriest, and a few twinks. So far out of every single class/off-spec ive played/messed-with, my SPriest is my favorite. It could just be me infamously playing the one type least used (support I mean). Its makes me smile then people say, "Hey, youre a spriest, interested in h mgt? Just need you." or, "People in my guild say that you are incredibly good, and we are having trouble on Kill'J and need the extra mana and damage boost, could you jump in with us?" Or may favorite wisper yet, "Dude, you're priest is in purple flames!"
If you role a SPriest, or even heal (which actually is the point of a priest), compaired to a mage or rogue youre damage generally will not be above theirs, and for the most part its not about the damage. I keep telling people this that ask questions about what class is the best, and I give the same answer, GO WITH WHAT YOU LIKE!

Shadow Priests WILL NEVER be at the top of the DPS meters unless they outgear by at least a tear the other DPS in the raid. It's sad that for all our utility shadow priests have the lowest dps output of any dps casters of equal gear. We just don't scale very well as we progress. Warlock/Mages with 100 spell damage less than a shadow priest can easily do 100-200 or more DPS.
Now don't get me wrong I love my SPriest and have seen all of MH/BT and the first boss in SW. Currently have 2 pieces of T6 and several other items. Depending on the fight I can go balls out, almost killing myself with SW:Death and hit about 1200 dps. My warlock counter parts can get to 1400+ by spamming nothing but shadow bolts 90% of the fight. Our usefulness is in our utility; 5% mana return equates to about 50mp5 at 1000 dps, 10% additional shadow damage thanks to shadow weaving, and 5% additional spell damage thanks to misery.
It comes down to what you want to use the toon for? PvE? Then sure go for it. PvP? Eh... Level a warlock.

What? Never has a boomkin, or druid at all, done more dps than I. I'm currently clearing BT by the way.

Well In a Duel My Shadow Priest lvl 70 would always beat a caster. xD Theyre awesome killing a mage i s quick and easy but sometimes locks are hard if theyre destro they have that nether protection but killing a affli or demonology is fast if they attempt to fear remem to use Fear Ward xD Remember To use silence
