Stories, eh?
Arathi Basin. Usually, horde leading by a small amount due to usual ally stupidity.
But all in all, we managed to take over Farm, Mill, and Stables was never been lost.
Me, little shadow priest, sitting alone 25 yd away from ST flag... in shadowmeld, ofc, don't you think i'm stupid enough to attract any fish before it get the bait?
At the time, it came. An unaware DK with scary ghoul. Started casting on flag, happily tasting would-to-be-victory... TOO SOON!
You know, with my 800+ haste and distance i've been at, there's no way DK could rush me in time to interupt VT. Especially, unprepared...
VT-DP-VE-SWP-flaaay!-shield and run, disperse before second shield became avaialble, add DoT's as you see fits, rotate terrify and scream. Pop Silence when applicable... He was at about 2k HP or lower, when Moonfire laid him to rest.
I waved at arrived Druid, he waved back and we shifted to shadows together, waiting for more silly hordies.

Shadowpriests are even much more squishy than Holy priests. They are the squishiest, most fragile, most PvP-challenged class in the game.
The only possible explanation of which I can conceive for your story is that your opponents were so weak and so undergeared that they couldn't kill you at your gear level.
Melee dps eats shadowpriests so fast that I can only say that your decision to run the flag was an error in judgement. It's true, sometimes you just gotta grab the flag no matter what.
But it does happen that somebody who shouldn't be running the flag ends up running the flag and costs your a team a cap because they couldn't take a couple of hits.
I
think you missed the fact he had Shadowmeld. The DK COULD NOT SEE HIM.
I also find DKs not-as-hard in my priest. Abolish Disease mitigates a lot of their power, Our shield rocks, damage reduction in SForm rocks, and getting the first shot is too yumee. Not to mention Shackle.
I do agree that Shadow is weak compared to most other PvP class/spec, but saying it is the worst (in s6, that is) is also wrong. Try to find Moonkins in the 2000s rating... You won't find many. It is true that Shadow's way of damaging over time is gimped in nature compared to the rest (Burst heals&damage), but good shadow priests still stand a chance at most things.
Which reminds me of my levelling. In the second, maybe third, can't recall, week of Lich King being out, there i was levelling in Zul Drak, doing the timed quests. An Alliance 80 DK ambushed me, his gear shining, and his massive 20k+ hp making me /shocked. While on the mobs, he trashed me (qq... time reward lost -.-'). I ress, drink and move on, to see him dismount again. I did not know anything about dks yet. I inclusively feared with him in Lichborne (ohlol, imune? what is this thing?). But my dots, my dispels, my heals, kept me alive for long enough for his hp to drop below 25%.
At that time he starts popping imbaheals and whatever (i was like ?is that a healing class?), i knew i was lost, i let him get me low and SW:D to suicide. I may have lost, but the battle took well over 3 minutes and teached me more against DKs than any other.
EDIT: Well, duh, i don't know what exactly happened when i cross-read comments. Sorry for it, and thanks shail ^^'

went into AV, there was a HUGE dogpile going on right in the center. I just dropped out of shadow form and started spamming holy nova. So much fun.
