Your arguement was flawed from the start.
500-600 magic damage in equipment means you're sacrificing a lot of stam for damage, and you'll have less than 4k health overall, which is the baseline minimum for PvP. No life = dead.

I applaud MJ for bringing upWotF, trinkets, DP (UD Priest racial spell, not shadow priest). Every priest can mind Blast, shield, or trinket out of fear. Most mana burn in between mind blasts, dispel, or scream, or if they must, they'll heal themselves-- in which case you're really worked over as you've wasted those long SB casts for nothing.
Besides that, CoT is far more useful vs priests. If you aren't facing a serious PvP UD Horde priest, you must be facing a serious Dwarf Priest, who'll simply be outright immune to your fear and you'll have zero ability to strip them of that.
CoS only negates the buff, that doesn't include equipment or the inherent utility of the priest taking longer to cast their spells! Like, Mana burn.
3 shadowbolts, harumph. No serious PvP'er expects to cast 3 shadow bolts in a row (except vs certain farmers...). They won't hit for over 1.5k+ each without pre 1.9 Ruin negative resistence glitches, they hit for even less now. You'll be P. screamed and laughed at as the holy priest bubbles and heals anything you've damage done, and then begins a m. burn / blast while your next charm/fear fails, and DC having a fair chance failing as they're equipped with shadow resist equipment on top of the buff.
For serious PvP'ers it is actually pretty easy to mitigate 5-7k damage. Most wars have that much outright. Holy priests that pvp have a minimum of 4k health (closer to 4.5k), plus stam buff and shield, so... 5-6k health overall life after buffs plus an ability to easily heal that. Your strat isn't going to fly.
I've even used an imp to beat noob locks that try this hopelessly failed strat. You've been fighting farmers too much.
Quote:How about the buff you get from Demonic Sacrifice?
Sorry RTM, didn't catch this one first time. Nope, not dispellable. Original release versions were (and then became only some of them), but we're far past that now. D.Sacrifice buffs cannot be dispelled off you. Only death, summoning a new pet, possibly logging out, and the 30 minute limit removes them off you.
Edit: PS, if you mention ToEP, and we're talking about a priest, IIRC, ToEP gives a buff that can be dispelled off you. That too, doesn't fly.
