And the shadowpriest community breathed a sigh of relief...

I'm really glad they finally listened to us and are reworking spells from the ground up. Talents can't solve everything.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Fade will finally become useful for threat management.

Aggro whore? I've never been called that before. I was getting used to "mana lackey."

you must use bad tanks or poor spriests, as i have never had an aggro problem. Any proper raiding spriest will knows to take the talent to reduce aggro. not to mention i have raided up to 8/9 BT and never pull aggro. Most times its a mage who ice blocks and the aggro jumps to someone else.

I can only hope you're right. Dot-crit would be lovely, and we'd actually be able to USE a lot of the reworked caster gear in WotlK. Yeah, SB crits were great, especially with Imp SB, but your average Affliction lock pre-T5 would hardly ever have space to trade out spell power for spell crit.

The only thing I see bad about this (and not meaning to be Debbie Downer) is in PvP. Resilience already works against DoTs, so will it work double duty on DoT-crits?

Seriously? I have NEVER run out of charges for Inner Flame before the timer ran out on it. Just keep up your Power Word: Shield. But yeah, you're definitely right on Divine Spirit and Fade. Though, now that we can't heal while we kill, hopefully we'll get more than just that.

Blessing of Kings and Blessing of Sanctuary are both talents.

Although I'm overwhelmed with joy at the mindflay change, I totally understand what you mean. But this change proves that Blizzard is listening, which was the big concern all along. If they're willing to listen about this, I am (once again) confident they will address our other concerns. Keep in mind, of all the possible changes to spriests, letting mindflay crit has probably been the most commonly suggested, and the most commonly shot down. I had given up all hope of them ever letting it crit. So this is a very good sign indeed!
