Oh I am SO nobody in this guild - I shouldn't be the one to even have an opinion let alone share it! hehe  I can see why a shadow spec would be enticing though - was in an ubrs grp with a shadow priest who did NO healing (we had other healing) and that character out DPSd EVERYONE in the group by a LONG SHOT, and that included me and two mages.  It was incredible.  I sent him a message about it and he said, &quot;I know, people just don't understand.&quot;

Even so, my preference would be to have the best healing we can for these instances - we've never had enough healers that we've had to turn one away.  But again, I'm nobody and maybe our glorious leaders would have something to say that actually made sense!  Oh, I do hear you about thinking you'd probably be a fine healer with your gear though.
