Though BakaShinobi's post is more detailed than mine will be, I'm guessing his number 1 is your main problem;
That's the wierd thing... I lvled from 1-44 prior to Wrath. I now have my other toons at 80 and it's getting to the point that they are running out of things to do. So - Back to priest.
Way back when I started this toon - you guys told me the same stuff... It worked great.
My rotation:
In Shadow Form
MB, Pain, Shield, Wand till dead.
-OR-
MB, Pain, Shield, Plauge, Wand till dead.
The first rotation leaves me with 2300/3k and the second leaves me with like 2000/3k... If I'm using the first rotation I get hit - so every once in a while I'll put VE on a mob, but that requires even more casting...
I think that the out-of-combat nerf was aimed at upper lvl toons. (Of course it was) Did they consider the massive annoyance that this puts on lvl'ing??? If I pull 2 mobs by accident, pat, or simply forced to pull more than 1 at a time - I'm <50% mana because I don't get the full out of combat bonus to my spirit Buff after killing... WoW this sucks... I have a mage/paly. My Raiding paly carries slightly more food/water (4+ Stacks) and my mage carries a standard 80 (4 stacks) of mage food because that is all that you are allowed. Suddenly my 44 Spriest is carrying 60 @lvl waters and 20 food....
I wish I could just get a high lvl toon. DK get it free - why can't we all start atTBC content... I'm still stuck running through the mid-40s, my most boring part of the game....
