I suggest getting 2 points in Intensity for instance utility. With a Paladin around for Concentration, you can serve as main AoE.
Personally I don't really find Siphon Life to be very useful at all. The passive life steal is cool, but neither the cast time nor the mana cost stand out.
Something else you might want to consider is Dark Pact for instances. It'll require some sacrifices, though. You'd have to ditch ruin and some other talents. But in doing so, you could also get Shadow Mastery which would boost your Shadow Bolt damage by 10%, about as much as ruin would. Dark Pact is great in instances, because it's like an unlimited mana pool. Just as long as your pet isn't casting constantly, they'll regen mana fast, which you can drain very quickly.
