Ante Meridiem

To all the aspiring (and even veteran) players out there wishing to delve into the realm of shadowy priesthood, I wish to share with you the resources that I personally use and even discuss others unknown to myself. I hope for this thread to be a great resource to anyone who wants to try out or improve their Shadowy friend in any way they can.
Obviously the number one resource I use to get any information on Shadow Priests is : http://www.howtopriest.com/ Think of this as a more specific forum site for us shadow users that gives us every detail we need to output as much damage as we can.
Even http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1156538-Priest-Shadow-DPS-Guide give you the same information with a better idea of what you want exactly for you max BiS gear.
For specific fights I direct myself to http://manaflask.com/en/guides I feel manaflask gives a good general detail of what you should expect from each fight and can be even more helpful if other Shadow Priest contributors give their insight for which talents you want to use for each fight.
I hope this doesn't look too cheesy and if anyone has any questions feel free to PM me or chat with me in game!
Your loyal Shadow Priest,
Lewch

I found no good fight by fight guides for ToT Shadow priests as far as talents/glyph choices, though I looked at how2priest, Icy-Veins and EJ.

Heroic may change these but I think lewch and I both agree on
Jin-Rokh - Insanity / PI / Halo, Glyph VE
Horidon - Insanity / ToF if your dps is good, DI if it's bad / Halo, Glyph MF
Council - Insanity / DI / Halo, Glyph VE
Tortos - Insanity / ToF / Halo, Glyph Fade
Maegara - Insanity / DI / DS, Glyph Fade
Ji-Kun - Depends on if you are a nest team or not. I am always nest so I go - Insanity / PI / DS, Glyph Mindflay
Durumu - Insanity / PI / DS - Fair amount of back and forth on this, would love to see what other people feel like, seems to depend somewhat on what you do during the maze. Glyph Mindflay for sure.
Primordius - Insanity / ToF / Cascade - Glyph doesn't matter.
Dark Animus - wtf bbq.
Iron Qon - Insanity / PI / DS, Glyph VE
Twin Consort - Insanity / PI / Halo
Lei Shen - Insanity / PI / DS.

Notice a pattern? Insanity is your boss. DS for fights you can't get good range on, and Halo for everything else. ToF for anything with AoE and PI for everything else.

Glyphs are bad choices always, but I stick with Dark Binding, Fade and switch out MF and Fade.

For Primordious I take FDCL over Insanity only because it gives me the ability to constantly be on the move and the damage from it isn't bad especially for nuking down the lower health slimes. On our last Primordious kill I didn't mind flay once the entire fight.
