I have a goblin priest that I've decided to stop farming with and try and play Shadow and have been doing some Heroics in the hope of getting some decent gear. She is here

1) Spirit can be beneficial to us since it gets converted to +hit

2) Our primary stats to focus on is Int > Haste > Mastery > Crit
Reforge your gear in this manner, and dun touch it if its haste.

3) When gemming, unless the socket bonus is +20 intel, ignore the colours and gem pure RED intel gem

4) I just saw your spec, and I have some comments...
a. Drop Imp Psychic Scream, Silence and Psychic Horror
b. Max out Mental Agility instead of Imp Power Word
c. Max Imp Dev Plague
d. Max Shadowy Apparition
e. Max Masochism
f. Max Mind Melt
g. Drop Paralysis

5. Our rotation is basically SW:P, VT, DP, MB, MF. Just keep the dots up. Some advocate throwing SW:P and MF until an orb pops. Personally for me, I throw the 3 dots up, hit Fiend and trinkets, flay until Archangel then pop Evangelism. Pop ur fiend and Angel early in fights so u can get them back up by mid to late boss fight.

Red = 40 int
Yellow = int/haste
Blue = int/spirit
Meta = 54int/3% crit dmg

^^ Baisuzhen is right about the gemming only red if the socket bonus isn't int, but if it IS, you wanna go with these. ^^

http://www.wowhead.com/talent#bcGoZZGbGdMzrdzfo:RkMobkz is a better spec/glyph choice for you.

Your spec is a little bit off from what is common; something like this is what is generally run with: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/wyrmrest-accord/Naelana/talent/primary (ignore her gear; I was RPing) Several talents that you have put points into are more pvp-centric

[baisuzhen]

I use Shadowtimer to track my dots

[roguebait]

Personally, I use a customized Satrina buff frames. But setting that up was a fun and exciting test of patience...Although, admittedly, not as fun and exciting as trying to get Power Auras to do it. /shudder

[baisuzhen]

Oh gods I am absolutely clueless and hopeless about Power Auras. No matter how many help I gotten from you girls. I'm just that... uh... dumb o___O;

Hence I gotten the easiest type of tracking hahahaha...

[unlovablehands]

this is a fairly standard shadow priest spec. The point in psychic horror can go where-ever you want (my BF put his in imp PW:S for questing purposes i think), the rest is pretty standard pve spriest talents.

Swap out glyph of PW:S for glyph of Shadow Word: Death.

[quixotic_coffee]

Get rid of the PW:S glyph and replace it with SW:D and use SW:D on CD when the target is below 25% health. I'm a pretty bad shadow priest so that's all I have to say (well and fix your spec). Also I did find this guide helpful: http://shadowpriest.com/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=30303

Not to be a pest but I couldn't help but notice your discipline spec is a bit off as well. Renew is not good as discipline. There are times when you may have a reason to cast it but it's not worth spending talent points and glyphs on. In addition to that you also put 1 point in a lot of 2 point talents where you'd really be better off not spreading your points out like that and you really need to have Divine Fury. This is the non atonement/archangel spec I run with: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/skywall/Lilyalyn/talent/primary (I use the PW:B glyph sometimes as well). I don't often use an atonement/archangel build but this is pretty cookie cutter: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#bfGorRsbcRMochM:qVcd
