Surrender to Madness and Spirit of Redemption are perfect foils to each other. Shadow Priests are encouraged to kill themselves Holy Priests are encouraged to be killed by others Shadow Priests can live longer the more they harm others, but can not be resurrected in combat. Holy Priests have a set time limit to help others, but can be resurrected in combat. Shadow Priests get 200% more Insanity, allowing them to increase their time span to create a bigger impact over time. Holy Priests get infinite mana, within a set time limit, allowing them to make a larger impact in a shorter time. Shadow Priests sacrifice Time for Power and Mobility while still alive.

Shadow Priests get Surrender to Madness, allowing them to move while casting and gain increased insanity, but also causing them to die after they lose all their insanity. Despite coming back once, your time is set, and nothing you can do can extend it, but you can be resurrected in combat. You also get increased healing through your infinite mana.
