My experience is almost exactly the same.

I've been a healing priest, in one form or another, since I started in BC. I dabbled in Shadow when dual spec was introduced, but never really played it seriously. Once Cata came I decided to "see how the other half lives". I specced Shadow, practised my butt off, found a guild who would take me as a DPS, and went to town.

I've used my healing spec in a raid once. It was in a pinch, and they reluctantly "let" me heal. The reasons for that? I have no real idea. I don't know if they don't trust me to do it, because they never see it, or our regular healers are just so good the they can't do without them. Maybe it's because I'm pretty good deeps, #1 or #2, in most of our 10's.

Regardless, it's not all bad, I like Shadow. It's not the same kind of challenge that healing is, but it has the benefit of keeping stress low. That's a good thing for your leisure activities.
