i looked back almost 8 pages and couldnt find a post on meta gems. (sorry if repeated)

I just got the s3 vengeful mooncloth helm. (YAY!!!) And i am a disc/holy priest in vindicator gear and 1 s3 gear.

I was wondering what you think is better for arena/bg's:
1. Mystical Skyfire Diamond: Chance on spellcast - next spell cast in half time
- i just put this one in and is ok, but has a hidden cd of like 45 secs i think

OR

2. Powerful Earthstorm Diamond Meta +18 Stamina & 5% Stun Resist
- this is what i usually see in priests meta spot.

Any suggestions would be awesome or if there are any other meta's available.
Oh yea and i have boar's speed on boots so i have minor speed increased.
Thanks!!!

I'm personally going with stam and stun resist when I get my s3 helm next week, but I have seen a couple of videos where a priest dispelling buffs proc'd the skyfire diamond and then they whipped out a 1 second mana burn, which is awesome as well.

Still, I'm sticking with earthstorm because I'm usually the tank in 3v3, and it'll help me survive just that much more.

I went with Mystical Skyfire Diamond, and I can say its LOL.. I added a custom event to SCT because it doesn't know it's proc atm. but it is a fun gem I can say. It really procs every time the CD is down. Whipped some 1sec mana burns and it felt cool. Usually you want to cast a sequence of them so it is like 2sec 1sec 2 sec and bam -3k mana to target :)

It really comes down to personal preferance, either of those two are the best gems for PvP priests. I'm sticking with MSD on my shadow priest - those 1.5sec Gheals, 1.5sec Flays, or 1-sec mana burns are just too good to pass up. In 5v5, I might lean a bit more towards Powerful Earthstorm, but in 2v2 and 3v3 I've found MSD a big help.
On a side note, with the cooldown on MSD, I never start buffing my group until about 40 seconds are left before the start. I typically buff up, and then in the last few seconds throw our two shields, PoM, and drop back into shadowform - by waiting 40 for the initial buffing, more than likely the gem will proc and be up just *after* the arena starts, instead of proccing and starting the cooldown just as the match starts.
