Definitely swap as soon as you can. The above is the primary reason but also, even after using Fade on cool-down, some folk have reported aggro issues with their Priest healing Warriors as well as potentially mana issues...Originally Posted by Gnomepower
Basically comes down to the fact that windfury totem is incredible for 4 wars (and strength of earth). Priest brings fort and not much else for this team (utility and buff wise). I would swap to a shaman if it’s not too late!
Edit: As a general rule both Shaman and Paladins are usually better fits for Warriors than Priests (no other team member factors considered).
A Shaman's totems boost Warrior threat and the Artificial Intelligence built into their Chain Heals is really nice.
A Paladin's Retribution Aura and blessings also boost the Warrior's relative threat and that may be on top of a Paladin's -50% less base Threat from Healing (some people still debate this but it isn't debatable that Paladins have at least -30% threat if they want). Paladins are also the most mana-efficient healers and that coupled with blessing/seal/judgement of Wisdom Paladins can limit the amount of drinking more than most other options... Also a Paladin is the only class which can make himself immune to push-back on demand indefinitely for casting spells...
Priests do have AoE heal options which Paladin's don't (except for Warrior's healing themselves due to Judgement of Light on the target and procs from the Paladin Tier 1 set) but that AoE healing is either mana inefficient and fairly small (Holy Nova) or pushes more threat than a Paladin (Prayer of Healing). Also Priest's Shields spells which normally are one of their big advantages can actually work against Warriors as they steal rage from the Warrior shielded...
