Congratulations!
Random stuff about the quest i haven't seened mentioned yet:
I've heard you can use the mechanical yeti and it makes the quest rather easier; I forgot to trigger him myself, so i'm not certain it doesn't cause cleanering. If you can't or don't want to get stratholme holy waters, you can make the un'goro aoe damage crystal (forget the name) that does almost as much damage and has the same 1-minute cooldown. Don't use cure disease, even though it has a much lower mana cost; it seems to succeed less often on the first hit than abolish, and the rare abolish failures take care of themselves 5 seconds later.
I did it on the second try (first one was mostly a dry run) using oils of immolation, the talisman of arathor (friendly w/ AB trinket, 495-605 physical damageshield every 3 mins), un'goro 30 spirit crystal, felwood 10 stamina food, bonus food, lesser mana oil on my weapon, and of course all the priest buffs.
It seemed to me the most important points of the quest were being quick on the draw for abolish disease, and careful to tank all the melee skeletons yourself so that none of the pesants got hit. Taking off V mode most of the fight (to make the disease glow more visible) and only popping it on periodically to check everyone's health; I barely healed the pesants at all (and only renews), almost all of them seemed to just make it so long as they didn't get more than a moment of disease and didn't get hit by melee skeletons or distracted from shambling clear of the archers. Overhealing the pesants early and having them escape almost fully healthy all but guarantees a mana shortage later. Drink your mana pots as soon as you have room for all the mana, so the cooldown will be over when you need one later.
I had heard from other priests on my server that the droprate for eyes of shadow was much higher with the eye of divinity equipped; I don't know if that's a myth or not, but with the Eye of Divinity equipped, and splinter of nordrassil in hand, The eye of shadow dropped for me from the second kill. The two pickup helpers and I that got it stayed around for another dozen kills or so to see if they'd get ones they can AH (it's BoE) but no luck.
The eye of shadow is an equippable trinket, but it does not appear to have any equip effect at all. It's not even classes: priest!
