Best Race

Will of the Forsaken breaks Fear, Charm, and Sleep effects with 5 seconds immunity. Devouring Plague adds damage and self-healing. Shadow Resistance helps against Warlocks and other Priests.

Stoneform removes all poisons - invaluable against Rogues. Desperate Prayer is a large instant self-heal. Chastise roots targets while dealing damage. The best Alliance race for PvP.

Stat Priority
3% Hit Rating > Healing Power > Resilience > Intellect > Stamina

Hit Rating is essential - you need 3% to avoid missing with Mana Burn and offensive spells. After that, balance Resilience, +Healing, Mana Regen, Intellect, and Stamina. No single stat to stack - aim for a good mix.
