  • Don't open up with a deathcoil. Save it for clutch situations, like right as your about to get Mindblasted.
  • Save your Felguard charge for this same reason.
  • Use Shadow ward! Being a shadow priest, all their damage comes from... SHADOW spells... Novel idea huh?
  • If your first fear gets resisted, use it again!
  • Keep your distance, their fear is basically an instant cast howl of terror.
That's pretty much all I can think of now. Of course, a felhunter would probably be best for this fight. Spell lock and Devour Magic, which I would use on myself, or even on the priest to deal with that pesky shield.
That is all good stuff. As to keeping your distance: if you run away, they have to chase you down, if they don't you can stay just on the edge of your own range and this gives you a large advantage. Once you have them starting to heal instead of doing damage, press your advantage and throw down some fear!
