Heroic dunegons and 5m setup

[Borug]

An alternative to pala +4 shaman might be prot pala +4 Spriest.
Vampiric touch stacks, giving your team mana equal to 5% of the total shadow dmg.
Vampiric embrace stacks, heals your team by 25% of the total shadow dmg.
Blackout gives you a 10% chance to stun the target for 3 sec when you deal shadow dmg. So a trash mob is basically in a infinite stun lock when you spam x4 mind flay on him.
In addition to that you can spec holy nova as panic aoe heal.

The big con is that both, vampiric touch and vampiric embrace need to be applied on the target. So after applying both debuffs to a trash mob, it might die too fast to really benefit from the heal and mana gain through shadow dmg.
Against bosses however x4 vampiric touch + x4 vampiric embrace sounds very powerfull. I'm certain that the dmg of many bosses can be out healed just by dealing shadow dmg and with x4 vampiric touch your team probably gonna have 100% mana after the boss encounter.

Already gave up on 5hunter, priest+4mage mid 60-70 and atm doing 5spriests (leaving), priest+4lock (hard commit), pala+4ele (newest)

- 5spriest are 4fun only in terms of performance - randomness, amount of clicking, speed, mana issues but! they say some dungeons like SP hc are rly fun and 'doable'
- priest+4lock is absolute winner in some ez dungeons like Botanica, SH, SL but cant handle much in hc even in raid gear, soon 2pice t5 bonus for final try before I give up
- pala+4ele smooth, wipeless and probably the only hc friendly setup, it is truely the best setup even from early 60s when I compare to my experience in dungeons on other setups

When u try pala+4spriest u end up with pala+4smite very fast and start thinking about comparison - smite vs ele.. with obvious results
