mp5 is missing from the stat priority.

Hey thanks, I forgot about it since there's very limited caster gear with it on.  Added now!

You didn’t mention Dwarf Priests at all in the introduction section

Dwarf has no PvE benefit.

Guest Improved Vampiric

Improved Vampiric Embrace does not give it an additional 10% healing, instead it increasing the healing by 10% meaning 16.5% total instead of the 25% mentioned in the guide. This makes it a basically useless talent choice and those two points should be spent elsewhere.

That's not the case at all.  It is a flat additional 10% healing from shadow damage dealt.  Just also tested live and it indeed works this way.  https://tbc.wowhead.com/spell=27840/improved-vampiric-embrace

Apply Aura: Modifies Spell Effectiveness (8)
Value: 10


The Value:10 means it's an additive value of 10, meaning the total becomes 25%.  If it was a multiplicative value of 10%, it would show the same way that Paladins T6 2 set shows, for example:

https://tbc.wowhead.com/spell=38421/improved-spiritual-attunement
 

Apply Aura: Modifies Spell Effectiveness (8)
Value: 10%

Having the % show after the number means it's a multiplier of the base value.  No % means it's simply added.

Why is healing enchant recommended for ring? 

Thanks for the catch on the typo.  Should be Spellpower instead, fixed!

The stat priority is suboptimal, spellcrit needs to be far lower (below spirit). reason:

with death on rota, ~6 crit == 1 SP and without death on rota, ~10 crit == 1 SP. On difficult raid encounters, where it really matters, you can't use death in the rota without risking a useless death in the process. you're a support dd after all, so 10 crit == 1 SP is the main point here.

also, 10 spirit == 1 SP (priest buffs - improved divine spirit), which leaves crit at the same spellpower value like spirit with the addition that spirit additionally generates mana. because of that, spellcrit should be below spirit.

Guest spellfire replaced?

Any support for replacing spellfire set when you get Cowl of the Grand engineer & Trousers of the Astromancer? Is the latter objectively better? Currently have spellfire set and sitting on the cowl but debating if its worth using once I get the Astromancer pants.

Guest Meta Gem

The Meta Gem won't activate (+12 SP) with this set up.

It's better to go with Mystical Skyfire Diamond for spell haste(1 blue gem activation from Glowing >purple< Gem on helm)

It's a whole lot better than not having a meta gem at all.
