PvE healing capabilities of 4x shadow priest

[Rew017]

My first team was 1 prot paladin and 4 x shadowpriests. As mentioned I changed this later on to disc/holy (holynuke) with a prot/Ret pally for sanctity aura.

As shadow you have very good longlivity and if you have fairly good gear on your paladin you could do with just the healing from the shadowpriests. In normal instances this will work on most encounters, but you should put some points in holy at one of the shadowpriests so that he could leave shadowform and throw some heals now and then. Since you get so much mana back you dont need a fully holy specced priest for this task, I think I did something like 20 holy/41 shadow on my hybrid shadow/healer.(specced imp greater heal)

As holynuke you should have a paladin with retribution aura. I think I did something like 40 prot/21 retribution for this. Together with improved judgement of the crusader the holydamage from your priests will be pretty good. In most normalinstances you can do insane pulls with this combination. (I did 15-20 elites in one pull and aoe'd them down in shattered halls with this setup)
Holy-nuke could work in heroics too if you have very good tank gear, but I didnt try this very much since I rerolled 1 priest+4warlocks to do pvp.

Thank you very much for the reply. I think I might be giving it a go. Funny thing is the other team that i've been contemplating is 4lock, 1priest for pvp more than pve. I like your taste
