Priest: Talents for Leveling and more info
( i pressed ctrl+a and pressed delete, so i deleted the little guide i wrote and now its going to be a little bit smaller P )
Ok lets get started!
This is how you should choose your talents for best leveling purposes.
Talents, lvl 10-40(shadow tree)
http://www.wowhead.com/talent/?rZZxMLt0xRt
Now you have 'Spirit Tap' the best skill for leveling/grinding, with this you could kill mobs that are around your level range without even having downtime. ( that means no mana drinking, if you use this talent right you could grind mobs for hours not drinking mana)
side note When engaging an enemy always have the sheild up before you start attacking ( recast the sheild as soon as you ge the spiritbuff if possible)
And remember the wand is your friend, saves mana and does very nice damage, you should always check the action house for a better wand than your current, every few levels.
And now when you've reached 40, and have spent 31 points into the Shadow tree, its time to get some nice talents from the Discipline tree.
Talents, lvl 40-60(Discipline tree)
http://www.wowhead.com/talent/?rVMGshZZxMxt0xRt
(Notice that i've put the last point into Shadow Focus in the Shadow tree)
This specc is purely for Leveling, after you hit 60 i got some other speccs for you.
PvP spec(the facemelter)

This is mainly for pvp but if you get some nice gear you could be doing damage instead of healing in Instances )
PvE spec(the healer)
http://www.wowhead.com/talent/?dxgus00oZfxLcc0qL
This is the healer build, it can look like many things 31/20/0, 18/33/0 etc, mess around with it see what fits you )
Thats all for me, Hope this helps someone )

Just a note - When levelling a Priest I always it's best to spend the first 5 points in Wand Specialisation. If you get a level 4 wand which does 25% more damage it's way more effective than spamming smite. This continues all the way up through the levels. Just make sure you get better wands. Good way of conserving mana, too.

I'll note the best way ( in what order to spend edit it D )( note , i have read this from the Official Forums )
10-14 5/5 Spirit Tap
15-16 Improved Shadow Word Pain 2/2
17-19 3/5 Shadow Focus
20 Mind Flay
21-25 5/5 Improved Mind Blast( note i don't think the 4th point in Shadow focus is necessary , neither imp Vampiric Embrace , Silence and Psychic Scream are better in my opinion )

33 Silence
34 Vampiric Embrace

This is way, way outdated. I think someone is working on an up to date priest guide. If one doesn't show up soon I may start working on one.

But it's such a reminder of the good ol' days when Shadowform was the ultimate talent in the shadow tree. Oh that takes me back.

Actually, right now we have someone working on a beginner shadowpriest guide, but that's it.
We definitely need more shadowpriest guides.
We could use:
1. Priest Leveling Guide - Talent & Tips | Kinda like we have for other classes, like for example: Paladin Leveling - Talent & Tips
2. In depth guides for each of the talent specs, kinda like Jiyambi's Tree Healing Guide.
3. PvP Guides / Arena guides as a priest (one for shadow and one for disc/holy)
