My alt is a shadow priest. She's only at lv41 atm... but I plan on keeping her as my dps. My guild doesnt have a "you have to respec at 70" requirement. We make good use of all specs. Besides, I have a resto druid healer. She was enough gold to respec and whatnot. >>;; So yeah. I have a shadow priest on her way to 70.

On my druid my guild bitches when i respec to resto because we only have one other good tank besides myself. And their threat generation still sucks compared to mine. But even when I'm instancing feral i still pop out and tranq. and innervate and such. Having heals means your going to have to use them occasionally. And if your priest and someone asks you to heal, get over it. The class is called priest, if any class doesn't deserve a DPS option it's the priest.

The fact remains that priests can be DPS, and they can be darned good at it too. Never argued that. Spriests are fine dps, even if they lack some threat reduction. They are also by far the easiest dps to gear up. So they shouldn't do terrible regardless.

I agree with Bacchant, you are absolutely wrong, Ice. Shadow Priests are by far the hardest to gear up because they are the most gear dependent of the cloth classes. Warlocks and Mages can dps fairly well and efficiently in HALF the armor necessary to make a Spriest viable for PvE or PvP.

OMFG! I want to tell people to stfu when they ask me to heal.
They say healing? I said shadow but no they want to keep ticking me off by saying you can still heal... I said yes with these and I link my bandages!
My guildies know better then to ask me to heal. They said she doesnt even heal herself. muwahahha damn right. now leave me alone. whew. I can count in one hand how many times I heal..in an instance.
God lets not go into gear. I am beating off locks, mages, freaking pally wearing cloths healer and the occasionally druids who piss me off.. with a freaking stick.. ugh but I love being SP!

Sadly as a paladin I can relate. I'm protection, have no points in holy and my mana pool is extremely limited and even with this knowledge people still ask me to heal. (And don't give me that "get a healing set" crap, I'd rather work on improving my gear for what I am spec for). I would just do what xXcallibrettoXx and find a group of people you can tolerate to run stuff with you. :c

There are certain classes where once they get to maybe ZF or ST, you cant ask them to heal if they aren't specced for it, because they go oom so quickly.
95% of classes that have healing spells that arent speccd for it dont have healing sets at low levels, so asking them to heal in instances is just asking for a repair bill. For instance I wouldnt ask an enhance shaman to heal, or a ret pally/feral druid. Its just stupid.
Priests are one of the classes that dont lose healing efficiency until the 65+ instances, and even then if the priest is skilled it becomes possible (difficult).
Much less so for a shaman/paladin/druid.

Even then, druids are decent, especially because if you're a feral druid, you're required to specc into Restoration anyways to achieve your maximum potential. Feral druids actually make really good off-healers or main healers in a pinch, especially if they have a healing set.

I just made a guild called .
If that didn't get the point across, then I ignored them.

Well yeah, but getting those talents doesnt happen until after ZF/ST anyway. Also by 60 you should have an alternate set, even if its only a couple of pieces.

If the person isn't specced for it, you might as well get someone to follow the tank around with tons of bandages.

Sure, you don't have to, but a good druid will know that sometimes an off-healer is needed. I'd rather be useful than stubborn. If you don't like all aspects of a class... Eh, nevermind.
