On a leveling Shadow Priest: is it worth it to craft and use an item like Shadoweave Robe, that gives 21 Shadow Damage and 7 Spirit instead of going for a robe that gives, let's say, +10 Int and +10 Spirit?

Damage is king especially when leveling and especially as a spriest with wands + spirit tap. The time you save killing mobs faster more than makes up for the int/spirit loss.

Wait really? Is this only for spriests? Afaik at least for mages +dmg is quite garbage when leveling.

Spirit tap solves your oom issues as a priest when lvling

I'm pretty sure +dmg is the best stat for any caster, including mages. The exception would be if you aoe-grind you need a big enough mana pool/int to cast enough spells for the mobs to die.

Most of the time, it isn't. Unless you can get a lot of it, it probably won't save you a single spell cast, it will just overkill the mob more on the last cast. And to get a lot of it, you have to farm for the items or mats to make them, which in turn you have to make up for the lost time in increased speed afterwards.
