A friend who played one of the top Shadow Priests on his server gave me this rotation. After I started using it, my DPS jumped over 300 points immediately.
A lot of people have asked me for help on their rotations, so I figured I could put this here for all to see and use if they choose.
1. Shadow Word: Pain
2. Devouring Plague
3. Vampiric Embrace**
4. Vampiric Touch
5. Mind Blast
6. Shadow Word: Death
7. Mind Flay (x2)
Repeat steps 5-7 until dead.
Please note that Shadow Word: Death is NOT the last thing you do. It is a shadow priest's highest DPSing spell. If you bubble beforehand, you take no damage, but the enemy takes a LOT.
** If you are in a straight DPS race.... skip Vampric Embrace. It does no damage, just gives some mana back to you.
I recommend the Glyph of Shadow Word: Pain, because it makes it so Mind Flay refreshes the Shadow Word: Pain in the target, which is good.... more mana to kill things with.
I hope this helps!
