Which one is better for solo, duo, grouping, and raiding? It would be more casual raiding, just a couple times a week. I don't care about getting absolute BiS, but I would like to eventually get the epic.

I think I prefer the theme of shadowknight, and I really like the idea of having feign death on my tank, but fear kiting sounds like it could get old when I can't find a group and need to solo. I also have seen people say that shadowknights usually don't get brought to raids, which is another negative. Also, I only have about 15k for gear, which might be another negative for sk due to the cost of the circlet of shadows.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Folks have things pretty well covered, but thought I'd chime in that SKs definitely get brought to raids in some guilds. Are SKs more likely than say, a rogue or a cleric, to get asked to swap to a bot sometimes when guilds are hurting to cover the basic needs of a raid? Sure. But that shouldn't be an everyday/kill thing so I personally wouldn't sweat it.
