Hex of weakness just reduces the amount of damage your enemy does, and Shadowguard is worth 10 dps or less when you first get it... Neither of those spells gain any meaningful benefit from shadow talents. It seems to me that a holy spec troll priest would still do better until 40 - after all, just because you're holy doesn't mean you can't enjoy your shadow spells ;) I can see the troll’s racials being useful for a shadow priest trying to solo, but don’t know if they’re enough to warrant actually wasting talent points in shadow.

You obviously have a lot of experience with WoW, and priests especially. I recently decided to focus leveling my blood elf priest with plans on making him a deathknight when WotLK comes out, hopefully later this year...I look forward to reading your blog...have a nice day!
