Well, we're finally getting details on 3.3 gear drops, and much of it looks very nice. It's a bit early yet, and stats on items *may* change, but I figured I'd do a quick write-up on gear to start picking up when the patch hits. This will be especially helpful for new members of the priesthood, but hopefully this will help those of you who've had rotten luck on a couple gear slots (like I have).

I've been holding off on this post, as the data that's been coming out on Shadow Priest itemization has frankly looked a bit fishy. I also didn't want to comment on any changes until the PTR had been up for a few weeks, in case some of the buffs we've gotten wound up getting rescinded. Well, things look a bit more stable now, and I've seen some newer sources of theorycraft data, so here are my recommendations post 3.3.

Continuing my 101 Series, I’m going to spend a bit of time discussing the Shadow Priest Spell “Rotation”.  Those of you with a bit of experience under your belt can probably skip this post, as this first section is going to be pretty basic.
