Quick shadow priest question

Quote:Basically, ignore it. Actually, interrupts on mind blast are more annoying than interrupts on mind flay, but even mind blast works ok in combat. The limiting factor on how fast you can kill things isn't spell interrupts or health, it's mana consumption, which is why PW:S is not (IMHO) the most efficient way to go, and why shadowform really helps.

It depends on how quickly the mob can be taken down, of course, but when I was shadow, I liked to preshield myself to prevent the mind flay from getting stuttered. When you lose time on your channeling, it's effectively like losing mana and stuttering on the mind blast means the killing speed is going slower (PvP gloves help this). If the mobs are ones that die quickly, I can sometimes kill two mobs before the PW:Shield expires, and I don't have to use vamp embrace in these cases, since the shield provides all the healing I need. With tougher mobs, vamp embrace takes a bigger role, but I still hate stuttering, so again I like PW:Shield in many cases. For tougher mobs, I also usually pull them far back and Psychic Scream them when they get close in order to avoid getting hit or stuttered by them.
