It bugs me how people hate shadow priests so much. In end game you are more usefull as a healer, or so some people say. So lets say you are alowed to be a shadow priest, and mages and warlocks DO NOT have priority over dmg gear...
If you are a shadow priest with the best known gear in the game you would have:
Crit w/spells: 12%
To hit w/spells: 5%
Shadow dmg: 760
So, that means you are doing 1200 non-critical mind blasts(360 healed per mind blast) Plus SWP is 400 dmg per/3sec(130 heal per/3sec) Plus mind flay 280 dmg per/3sec of chaneling(84 heal per/3sec of chaneling).
Total DPS: 950
Total DPM: 57,000
Total HPS: 285 to all party members.
Total HPM: 17,100 to all party members.
But ^^^^^That^^^^^ is assuming nothing is resisted and threat does not matter, and not including critical hits.
All im trying to say is give shadow priests a chance. The reason why no one wants shadow priests is because they say. ""Who wants crappy dmg and crappy healing when i could use that spot for good healing OR good damage."" And the reason why they dont have good gear is because they dont have a chance to get good gear. I know a lot of guilds that accept shadow priests, but they dont get anything because the 12 other dps classes in the raid get it because they are a dps class and priests are a healing class. What am I supposed to do, wait till every mage or warlock gets the item then I can roll on it? By that time the guild would be done with...lets say MC, and on to BWL. So MC is rarely done, and im still in my crappy blues with 11 dmg.
And I know everyone is saying...well anyone would do good in the best gear in the game, but thats my point. ANYONE..including shadow priests, so therefor, priests should be able to do what they want. The only objection I would have is if a shadow priest world roll on healing gear. Now thats just wrong..pick one.

Ohh I forgot to mention, with the BC talents...you would rape as a shadow priest. New spells, less mana cost, and also a HEAL!!! Also, consider the likely chance of there being mind blast rank 10 or even 11, for I did all of my calculations on the rank 9 mind blast. Although the heal costs a lot of mana, most shadow priests have plus dmg AND healing gear, therfore this would not be bad at all. Shadow priests will (hopefully) be more accepted in their raids because they can throw that extra flash heal to party members.
The biggest thing that I didn't mention is that in raids you are doing 15% dmg(shadowform) 15% dmg(shadow weaving) 10% dmg(Darkness) and 15% dmg(curse of shadows: warlock debuff). So thats a total of 55% dmg, which make your mind blasts a 1860 dmg spell NON-CRITICAL!!!!!! (I thought the numbers seemed a little low for the best gear in the game :D)
With BC you add the 15% crit chance, and also the 3% more dmg (if warlock spec has Malediction) so that means ur doing 1896 dmg on mindblast, and 568 healing to all party members. So im guessing on crits, but I would say 3000 easy? So 1000 healing to party members. I don't feal like doing the math for other spells but you get the point...I hope.
The only thing I would be worried about is running out of mana too fast, (which should not be a problem because of the new BC talents plus raid buffs) and threat. Obviously with that much dmg gear ur gonna get a lot of threat. The reason threat would be a problem is because you can't take dps breaks (unless everyone but tank is taking dps breaks example: Onixia) Well, I suppose you could, but you would be letting the 4 people in your group die. So i suggest putting points in your talents to reduce threat. I know you might be giving somethings up, but It would most likely be necissary for a PVE shadow priest. Youe might think that -45% threat is enough, but it might not be. Remember, mind blast ""causes a high amount of threat"". So use fade as often as possible and think about getting a trinket that can reduce your threat. I know of one that can reduce threat by 70% for 20 seconds and that would be VERY usefull for the last 5%-10% of a boss in major raid dungeons. I don't think it would be necissary, but it would obviously help.
REMEMBER: All of the calculations that I did were from the best gear in the game. So dont get your hopes up too high unless you are in a guild that accepts shadow priests, the guild raids for 8 hours a day, AND you go to all of the raids are necissary things to aquire such awsome dps/hps. The gear includes all epics, the new legendary staff, and best possible enchants.
And for those who say shadowpriests are overpowered, well they are, and thats what I like the most about this class/spec. And for those who say if you want to dps, then change to a dps class. Well, I dont want to do just dps, and I dont want do do just healing. I want to do both, and the only class that can dps and heal at the same time is a shadow spec priest. I suppose you could say warlocks do that, but sipphon life and drain health are just too weak. I like the fact that my healing relys on a f*** load of dmg and it heals your party too.
Well, I think I pretty much proved everyone wrong about shadow priests. And if you have any objections post a comment so I can prove you wrong again. (Besides my calculations...if they are worng...its human error) And if you want to be a shadowpriest, raid, and also get the same chance as everyone else to get gear, show this to ur guildmaster. They might change their mind by seeing the numbers.
The only reason why I wrote this was to show people that we are very useful in raids...JUST GIVE US A CHANCE!!!!!!

I really hope they add this set back in game come 4.3. It is by far my favorite Priest set (Besides T12, but that defeats the whole purpose).

9/9 T3, my prized possession: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/elune/Teevo/simple http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/elune/Teevo/simple
Alot of people want it back in the game. Personally, I want Naxx40 back. My favorite dungeon hands down... and my favorite fight: Four Horsemen (40man). But as for Tier sets, priest T3 is simple yet ideal.

If you're like me and you like this set, but you don't want to waste <del>*cough* unnecessary *cough*</del> gold to complete it, or you just don't care for a 100% perfect match, then consider some of the things I did for my transmog:
While this actually doesn't <i>'match'</i>, it's still a pretty https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=72314 belt that I think blends in very well with this set; you can purchase it with Honor from the old Honor vendor in Orgrimmar/Stormwind.
<small>I realize the green center piece might throw you off, but I liked the gold chain so much that I didn't care for that part, and I really don't think it ultimately makes a difference -- I even prefer it more than the original set belt.</small>
Since the robe includes long sleeves, the type of glove you use doesn't matter much. I thought buying the set gloves was a waste of gold, since they're barely displayed.
<small>If you browse cloth hand items, you'll notice that some of them are hardly visible and come in several colors like black, navy, etc.; I went with one of those.</small>
To avoid purchasing the set shoes, you can transmog https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=27411 these . I even think someone recommended those shoes on one of these pages, but for reference, I'll put it here anyway.
For weapons, since I heal, I mainly use https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=37169 this . I haven't found anything I like more, although if I had to recommend extra maces, I'd suggest the maces that drop off of Lich King in ICC.
<small>One variation is purple, so obviously you'd want to skip that, but the other colors are blue and a heroic version is white.</small>
My transmog sets are a work in progress. However, this is what I'm currently rocking on my Night Elf, and hopefully it'll open your mind to alternatives that both don't kill your wallet and also make you more of a special snowflake.
