I have a hard enough time remembering to gather shards for the VW and health and soul stones.The great thing about Shadowburn (now that it's fixed) is that while it consumes a shard, it returns a new shard if it's the killing blow on a mob. So usually you use it as a finisher, and it feeds itself by getting another shard back.

What I find myself doing is carrying a few extra shards (say 3) in case of emergency. If I really need a lot of DPS and I know it's going to be a close fight, I'll use those extra shards early on for more frontloaded damage. It's only a 15-sec cooldown, so you can really crank them out if you need a burst of DPS.
I've had specs with it, and without it, but I keep going back to it. You can sure live without it, but it's a nice skill to have. Especially PvP. :shuriken:
