The Oracle set was designed with multiple goals in mind. Just because it has +damage and healing doesn't immediately label it as a shadow priest set. Almost every piece has some mana/5 on it, making quite a few of the pieces (shoulders, helm, boots) better than their respective pieces from transcendence for healing. One could also argue that the mana/5 combined with spell damage make it the optimal PvE shadow priest set. And then the 3 piece bonus is a nice boon to healing when you aren't guaranteed your safety (like PvP or one of my guild's ZG's). Regardless of what it can be used for, the set looks very nice together, making it worth getting for that alone.

<small>UPDATE: I have later acquired the full set on my 60 priest and the set bonuses are simply put <b>awesome</b>!</small>

Just to save people some time doing the count of mats needed for whole set.

Something to consider when picking this set up for those 60 twink priests...

The 5-piece bonus works out nicely combined with the Glyph of Renew

For example, if your renew heals for 1000 normally (5 ticks for 200) with this set you'd get an extra tick for 200. With Glyph of Renew your Renew heals for 1000 normally (4 ticks for 250) and with the set bonus you'd gain an extra tick for 250.

Total healing with 5piece set bonus renew w/out glyph 1200 over 18sec.

Total healing with 5piece set bonus renew with glyph 1250 over 15 sec.

Not alot of difference but just a nice little nudge in the right direction.

<i>I should note that the same can also be said about the Tier 5 set bonus as well (also a 5-piece bonus)</i>

For the lazy (like me), just a little more detail on requirements to aquire this set.
