I see the demand for these is high. The thing is, I'm not sure I'll ever do a raid—certainly not a 25-man. Raiding I think requires more of a commitment than I'm willing to give for this game. Unless there is a strong enough pug community of players doing 10-mans or something, I don't think it will happen.

I am, however, wondering about BGs. I've only entered a BG maybe 5 times total. I don't think my side has ever won. Are BGs worth it as a priest? I'm currently dual-spec'd as Disc/Shadow, but my gear is increasingly, uh, geared towards Disc/healing.

I suppose after I get the set I'm collecting, I could go after a shadow priest set as an alternative, but what's the best way to do this? Just run as Disc until I get a bunch of honor points to buy shadow gear? Or should I just keep running 5-man heroics and buy shadow gear until I feel happy enough to start running BGs? Is it better to run BGs as Disc and be a healer, or would it be more rewarding to go full-on PvP shadow facemelter?

I still have quite a bit to entertain me until Cataclysm comes out, I'm sure.
I'm on the fence about this one. I can't see myself running 5-mans until Cataclysm. I think I'll do a cleanup on all the questing in Northrend, and then maybe Outland. There are entire zones I haven't even touched yet on each map. But beyond that, I'm not sure. I don't even know if I'll make it that far. I might go on hiatus again.

Unless, of course, I find a place in BGs. Or maybe arenas? What are arenas like? Do I need to be jacked up on Red Bull and have ADD to even make it worthwhile?
