Choosing Shadow Specialization replaces this spell with Mind Flay.
Typing /cast smite casts Mind Flay instead.
Many would say Shadow Spec is the way to go when you want to PvP, but I say go smite spec. Pvp is all about Burst Damage, and smite, unlike Mind Flay, can crit. In addition, you can also heal in your holy form. If your geared right with enough critical rating, you'll do more dps than Shadow.
