Priest Talents

[Xanthix]

Does Silent Resolve work with shadow skill damage or just holy/disc damage?

It should work with all damage, and stack with Shadow Affinity. However there are probably better talents to invest in for grouping (people will be upset if you nuke instead of heal), and for soloing you will have all the threat anyway.

Also does Meditation( 5/5 points Allows 15% of your Mana regeneration to continue while casting) mean that you'll regen mana while the casting bar is charging then stop  regening when the skill is cast or does the regen continue on to the 5 sec rule.

With Meditation, you'll regen mana at 15% all the time you are not regening at 100%. In other words, 15% of your regen will completely ignore the 5-second rule.

Is Divine spirit worth getting? With the 5 sec rule and all that skill seems really obsolete.

The general concensus is that Meditation and Divine Spirit are so-so, because spirit is so weak right now. Priests tend to cast a lot and 15% of your regen, even with high spirit, is just a trickle of mana even in long fights. However it's better than nothing, and on a big raid using DS on everyone is nice.

After getting focused casting , it turned out to be pretty worthless in actual combat. On paper it seems nice but in PvE you got your warriors to tank with taunts and mages to aggro with nukes. The only time it may really be usefull is during a PvP fight but there are so many "disrupter spells" like shaman ice balls / counterspell / and silence that its virtually useless.

This is in sync with the general opinion of those talents.

Also I was thinking about a CRIT priest, a priest that focus on only using flash heals with a lot of percent to crit with spells. By doing this a lot of int / stam will be sacraficed and spirit would be even more worthless. Im pretty sure this has been discussed somewhere to so I apologized but seemed interesting.

Holy Spec is good for +crits, but there are few other ways to improve your spell crit rate. No one really knows the formula for INT increasing crit rate unfortunately. Also, completely relying on crit heals is probably a bad idea. The Inspiration talent is cool (+armor on crit heals), but really only useful on main tanks.
