For VE&VT to be useful the duration of them must be of decient time, like bossfights are there real strengths.
There not going to top the dps meters like a mage or lock would but they are a utility but it depends, its sorta situational.
Running the 3dps setup the downside of a shadowpriest is that cc isnt a viable option, mindcontrol with a duelbox would kinda suck.
QFT, I donly put a spriest into my team if I had an affliction lock to go with it, otherwise the only priest in my group would be the healer.

my perfect setup for heroics would probably be
paladin tank
resto shaman or holy priest for healer
2 fire mages for dps/CC
1 lock, maybe for more CC and good dps.
or an elemental shaman
