Prior to level 20, priests level like molasses. Smite is a pathetic damage dealer and you end up hitting things with your staff for the most part. You're probably not going to die, but you're not going to kill things very quickly either.

The higher level stuff I can't get into, yet, but I've played my priest to a decent 17 now so I know how shadow priests do then. My mage killed in less, but was probably sitting to drink every 4th or 5th mob at that level. My priest never drinks. I was content swinging with the Mace when Spirit Tap didn't proc before it was 100%. Now, I can live off my spell damage for a few guys, hold back a little occasionally and just swing the mace, and I'll never run out of mana.
The overall time might be slower, but it's still close. More importantly, you're involved the whole time. It's not "kill kill KILL", "drink drink drink". It's a constant moving on.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
