Between stuns and flay, I've seen shadow priests chain cast scream. That depends on blackout, and ability to stay alive though.
Chain casting fear... is usually not an option. You *must* have range on your side to do so. Rogue sprints are too fast, and we're hit with los 'You must be facing your target' messages. Heck, that can happen with warriors and they're fairly slow.
CoEx is probably superior when available, however it is a 25 talent point investment for a weak snare, which means precluding use of level 31 talent in other trees. While I love affliction, the marginal cost for a weak snare is not worth paying.
Anti fear trinket / fear immunity hits priests badly, but I'd wager the damage mitigation gets priests out of more scrapes than the fear.
