Spells
On a boss or trash with a big healthpool your priority should look something like this:
Vampiric Touch -> Mind Blast -> Devouring Plague -> Shadow Word: Pain -> Mindflay.
Always keep Vampiric Touch and Devouring Plague up, when one of them is starting to run out, cast it again, you should also have SW:P up on the target all the time, but if you have the proper spec it will refresh whenever you cast Mind Flay on a target, cast Mind Blast when all dots are applied and it's off cooldown, when all dots have been applied and Mind Blast is on cooldown, then use Mind Flay until you need to re-apply one of the dots or Mind Blast gets off cooldown. On 5 stacks of Shadow weaving you should reapply Shadow Word: Pain for maximum damage, thanks to suisidenoob.
1. Mind Blast on cooldown.
2. Cast Mind Flay when everything else is up or on cooldown.
3. Use Shadow Word Death to deal damage while moving
AoE
3 mobs:
Dot everything and then assist or focus.
More than 3 mobs:
Vampiric Touch freely and then Mind Sear, rotating the target of Mind Sear.
Vampiric Touch is almost always worth casting over Mind Sear, unless you are AoE'ing a lot of very low hit point adds.
