EU+US Thoughts on Shadow for a F2P?

[Leek]

I don't know if mind flay still has the mind seer effect at 20 (despite the spellbook saying level 26) but if it still does, the addition of
http://www.wowhead.com/spell=109142
as a lvl 15 talent can make shadow a huge threat in any flag room situations with the aoe pressure that shadow can pull off. The instant damage from shadow word pain on a target below 35% health triggers the 20% buff as well.

Shadow has a decent amount of resource management and things to keep track of which keeps things interesting. The damage is great right now too.

One thing to keep in mind though, playing shadow without the lvl 30 talent http://www.wowhead.com/spell=64129 makes fighting any strong melee practically impossible with psychic scream on cd. I rolled a worgen for my 20 priest and it's a little more tolerable.

Yup mind sear still works even at 20

Could one gear the same as a disc for items bis or close too bis, would that be okay for shadow?

Sure, Why not, not like the gear is gonna affect pvp. But for world pvp I recommend haste+vers or one of either

Man, consensus on talent? They all look really strong. If you can dot people that are low http://www.wowhead.com/spell=109142/twist-of-fate will probably win as 100% up-time on 20% damage increase is strong. http://www.wowhead.com/spell=193195/fortress-of-the-mind Insanity buff looks really nice too.
