Spriest pvp dmg, does it get better?

[Redbtk]

Hey all, recently hit 90 on my priest and playing as shadow in arenas. Still trying to learn the class obviously, but when it comes to my damage I feel it's nothing what it would be with the gear. I only have my 5-piece set(2Dread/3Malevolent) and 4-piece contender set and inscribe epic staff, sitting at like 17.5k SP with arena buffs. I know I'm not geared at all, just wondering what to expect of my damage when I do get full dreadful/malevolent and the PVP weapon, because right now I feel I do pitiful damage with my dots, and my mindblasts/DP/MS's aren't exactly putting much of a dent in them.

I geuss when we ar getting geared more... Shadow always haz been lower at start of expansion but shines towards the end.
To my personal feelings out of a PVE perspective the stuff you describe ar the same.. Missing burst... dots feel weak and the rest doesnt do that much dmg either.
also a warrior can easy outheal your dmg :P

With about 40% pvp power, or 50% now in 5.1 you will notice a big differnce. Shadowpriests are really great in pvp atm.
