Stat Priority
Stat Breakdown
Skill Capped recommends the following stat priority for Shadow Priest PvP:
Haste is your best secondary stat, reducing cast times and increasing DoT tick frequency. More Haste means more Insanity generation and faster kills.
Versatility increases your damage and reduces damage taken, essential for PvP survivability as a caster that is often targeted.
Mastery: Shadow Weaving increases damage to targets affected by your DoTs but is less valuable than Haste for PvP.
Critical Strike is the lowest priority as Shadow relies more on consistent pressure rather than burst crits.

Primary Setup
The Devouring Banding seems to provide the best DPS increase at the moment, since it not only deals direct damage but also boosts secondary stats. You will need to craft this on a non-jewelry slot.

Core Gems
Use Cognitive Heliotrope as your unique PvP gem for interrupt protection when casting. Fill remaining sockets with Flawless Versatile Peridot for Haste and Versatility.
