Quote:2. I'd also drop Healing focus, it's good if your getting beaten on or have a boss that does constant Aoe damage but otherwise it shouldnt be needed. i'd put 1pt in Holy Nova and 1 in Holy reach, since the goal is to get the most out of your healing power.....no, having never played with Holy nova, "i'm Shadow on my 70", i have no idea on the casting time or cost, so take that into account.
I'll have to respectfully, politely, but strongly disagree with this. Healing Focus is one of the most vital, key healing talents in the game that it makes one wonder why it's at the top of the tree. Obviously why though is that it lets shadow priests get it. :)

There are countless fights in WoW where you will get hit, you will take damage, and without this spell every single one of those damages will stutter your heals.

Holy Nova costs far too much mana to ever be considered a serious healing spell. At max rank, it's 875 mana per cast (788 mana with Mental Agility) and heals for roughly 500-600 with raid healing gear. Unless you're fighting Vael, you're going to run out of mana in less than 30 seconds with this and I can't think of a time where I could say "wow, I saved a wipe with Holy Nova." It was sure fun to AoE Magmadar Core Hound packs with it, though...as long as I got an Innervate. :)

Holy Nova is a nice PvP spell, though.
