2. Low AOE means low damage on trash. Again, can't really argue this - especially with some classes having AOE as part of their single target rotation, thus losing nothing when they do it.
3. Trash make up for majority of dungeon run time. Therefore, for the most of the dungeon you're not doing much to contribute.
Simple enough, right? You can spec Shadowcrash or Void Ray to mitigate some of that, but that in turn lowers your boss dps, thus making you weaker in one area where spec is doing "decently". You can spec Surrender to Madness and probably top meters on one or two bosses - assuming it even lives long enough to gain the actual benefit from the talent. It still won't make you dominate the meters to the same extent you're lagging behind on trash.
Or maybe you're just that much better than other shadow priests - all of them are unskilled noobs who don't know how to play, right?
