I still think this is because of the classes that you chose. A warrior can have a hard time fighting mobs, but a priest does not (especially with a shadow spec, they can do a LOT that most classes cannot). That's why I tried to stress the point of combining two classes that have a harder time leveling to form a team that eradicates that issue with their combined skills.

Did everyone notice green drops/quests' reward for BC? The great stats they got compare to the old stuffs? I won the "Helm of Narv" from AH a few days before BC went live for $98g and thought I got a great deal. It usually went for 250g~300g on our server. Came BC and I headed over the portal and what do I see? A kill quest's reward with a head piece with stats that blow the "Narv" out of the water. Let me go sit in the corner and cry a little bit.
I've only replaced a cape and a ring so far and I'm at level 65. I simply cannot justify killing one stat to raise another by a little bit. For example, one item may bump up my AP by 20, but it drops my crit by 1%. I'm a rogue with a mutilate build, and that's much more crit sensitive than a backstab built would be. So I need that delicate balance between the two. So right now I'm about 25% crit and 900 AP with 120 energy (still
) and +5% chance to apply poisons (great for mutilate).
I've seen gear that I would replace my current stuff with. I know a friend of mine had a nice pair of blue BoE shoulders drop from a chest. I would've loved to swap my NS shoulders out for those, but I wasn't there
. So far I've only taken the cape from the Coilfang Resevoir quest and some ring that gives +agil +stam and +ap (lost some +hit on using that one).

Mages are pretty self-sufficient once you get to level 20.

Definitely one of the best farming combos. Throw a mage in there too, and you've literally got a powerhouse. Mage/Paladin isn't a bad combination either, as they may not be able to shield, but BoP on a mage is just godly in some situations

shaman/mage didn't work out so well (went up to 7) it was a really awkward combo to use.
Shaman/Paladin however... Wowie. Right now I have the shammy on follow of the paly. It works really well since both are melee, once they get high level I see this being a real potent combo. It's also nice since i'm primarily questing (since i'm rerolling ally from horde) so there is no quest that is beyond me although every quest does take longer.
The only problem I'd see with this is possibly totem use. A good shaman will switch totems based on the situation and that could be hard if you're controlling two characters at once. Also, a paladin casting a seal and then judging and re-sealing is common while fighting. Paladins are machines and a half by themselves, it's just insane how powerful they can be.
I was having trouble with a quest last night in Shattrath City and I noticed a Paladin friend of mine was in the city. So I asked for his help and he had no trouble tanking a 66 elite (that hit me for 1000 and him for 500 a hit... with a fast hit rate) and two 66 non-elites at the same time. And he was 63 at the time! (Meaning the mob was an orange con to him).

PS I would go Paladin/Warrior on PVP server, and Priest/Warrior on PVE server.
I know it was frustrating as hell playing with my wife's priest, because they are so weak on PVP server. Tons of corpse runs for her character, but we owned BGs once we got 60 and epics, no where near as good as paladin/warrior combo though close.
Your priest PVP experiences probably would've been a bit easier if you were shadow (I'd assume you were holy/disc or disc/holy since you always played as a healer to the warrior). Although, my friend insists that her priest is better at PVP as disc/holy than shadow, I still disagree
. Although, as an Alliance priest... shadow can be quite horrid when dealing with the droves of undead and their acursed Will of the Forsaken. An undead blacksmith fury warrior can have 5 fear removals (enough to make you immune). It may actually be 4 as I've never specced fury and I'm only assuming that Death Wish can bring you out of a fear (as I know it makes you immune for 30 seconds among other things)!
