Tier 11 (Blackwing Descent, The Bastion of Twilight & Throne of the Four Winds, Heroic) Best in Slot from the Icy Veins Cataclysm Classic Shadow Priest gear guide. Tables on the source are identified by the raid names in their Source column (the page's own phase labels follow Blizzard's numbering, which differs from ours).
