So I finally tried out my Shadow dual-spec in a dungeon

I took me a while to get back the hang of managing so many timers, and I still haven't found an addon I like to help me with that.
Anyways, I was doing DTK and Gundrak with a group of scrubs in mostly blues. No problem. In fact not one at all.
After I finally got the hang of it again, I was doing somewhere around 1850 DPS by the end. Sure, I've got other practice to do but I was pretty damn proud of myself for my first time as dps since Outland.
I still am main specced to Discipline healing, but a lot of that gear is pretty good for shadow too. I did manage to get pretty close to hit cap, I'm only at about1.5% miss chance now, and I didn't miss at all during any important encounter.
Any comments? Advice? Flames?
EDIT:
1850, sorry about that

I have to agree. I'm main spec disc offsec shadow, and the similar gear is VERY nice. On my first attempt at shadow in H UK, i managed to pulled around 2.3k (on keleseth, 3.7k!) dps. It's just a matter of growing used to your rotation(Or in Shadow's case, priority).
For a Dot timer, i use ForteXorcist. It's quite nice, keeps track of your cooldowns too.
I'm so happy Dualspec came out. I missed shadow so much.

Not bad. I'll admit that my gear is all ilvl 200 epics (save my pants), so my dps is what you'd expect for a 10man rather than a 25.
Personally I'm not fond of 25 man raids, but it's nice to know that I'll be able to take a dps spot sometime if I can.
And yes, I missed Shadow too.

Nerf shadow priest!
i do a recount check and the priests numberone heal is PoM......now i dont know bout you other discos but PoM as top heal? like its not even in my top 5. penance and flash are my top two. this priest was PoM renew flash penance.....so i tell em she/he sucks. my only answer. in party chat guildy asks "Hey <healer> you dual spec shadow?"
That priest plainly sucked, but for me PoM is like always my highest healing in heroics, because it's mostly the only thing I use for aoe healing, depends on the heroic dungeon. Next to that I cast a shield on a tank and then go /sleep until three pulls later.
I wish I could dual spec shadow, but my guild keeps forcing me into holy. :< And I all I want is to be Disc, which they also accept because all the paladins disconnect.
I have become the ultimate wild card.

Sorry, I made the edit. Looks like I put an extra zero in there without realizing it.

Never has so much comedic value been drawn from a single typo.

You want healing practice? Take a few scrubs to a heroic. Believe me, you'll learn pretty fast that way.

Sonic, I am glad you said what gear level you had for the dps. I have noticed a lot of non-priests claim or quote good heroics dps numbers and never mention gear or have an armory link.
So thanks, this helped me out on my casual priest
You're welcome. Even if my armory was up, it wouldn't say much cause I use my healing gear for questing since the Shadow talents remove the need for extra +Hit on normal mobs.
So for reference I mention gear ilevel and at most spellpower and crit numbers (somewhere about 2030 and 21%)

I love the dual spec option because now I get to dps from time to time. I don't have any dps gear but I still manage to put out 1600 to 2000 dps in heroics, which is better than most of the dps "noobs" I group with when I am the healer.
