Yeah, I've heard good things about shadow PvP. I just need the gear, I guess.

I put together this comparison of the armor you linked and the deadly gladiator set for shadow priests (I believe) to give you an idea of the differences.
Thanks for this. I probably would rather have PvP than PvE gear for my shadow spec, but now I'm considering respec'ing for PvP shadow, as my current talent spec is more PvE shadow (it's missing Silence, for example).

Arenas were actually designed to give people the ability to receive rewards for PvPing, but not have to dedicate their lives to it. Basically, you fight in 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5 gladiator style matches. You do so with a team, and can only be in one team per bracket. At the end of each week you are awarded arena points based on your highest ranked teams performance. The only stipulation is you must participate in at least 10 matches throughout the week to receive any arena points.
Maybe I'll consider this after getting some PvP gear.

Just look online for the minimum stat requirements for whatever raid you're looking toward. Look at a few of them and it will give you a general idea of what is expected of you.

For Naxx it looks like most people agree that you should be working with at least 1500 bonus healing, and 160 mp5.
I currently blow that away.

Make sure you get your Sons of Hodir rep up. They have the best shoulder enchants.
I'm currently working on my Kirin Tor rep to get a head enchant, and then I'm going to do Sons of Hodir for the shoulders.
