My bars are set up like this.
I have two "main" bars, and then a static shift bar. I change the main bar depending on if I am questing or healing.
Then, I have a bunch of other bars, that are static and never change. Shift1 though Shift = is all bound to stuff. Shift 1-6 are used a lot, the rest of less used. I also have Shift Q, Shift W, Shift E (fear, inner fire, res, in that order). I use "~" for dispel, and "Shift~" for remove poison. I also have Y bound to something, shift Y bound to something (used to be Shadow Form, but I'm disc now). G and Shift G (fear ward, shackle). ShiftD is fade.
It's a little confusing at first, but I find it gives me a large amount of options immediately at my finger tips. I suggest working out your own system, and memorizing them. Pressing key binds is always faster then clicking the buttons them self.
Do you use a action bar mod? I suggest bartender, if you don't already have one and want to get it working.
Let me see if I can find a good leveling shadow build for you.
edit: Here is a low level build for you to follow
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bZZG0fVofzcVoRationale: get to Shadow Form as fast as possible. Spirit Tap > Black Out, so you can grind without having to drink much. No veiled shadows, because you don't get shadow fiend until 66. No shadow affinity, because you will be mostly questing and don't need aggro reduction. Once you get higher level, and respec will be required. But this should help you do as best as you can, as early as you can.

shadow i hear is great for lvling but i have no clue i lvled as disc so i could heal like i wanted too:) from looking at the talents it looks great 4 lvling.
- yes you are correct on stats,stamina(more health is good), spellpower(more burst), and intellect(more mana+crit) should be you main stats for lvling.
-if you wanna lvl quickly do alot of dungeons and quests. me when i quest any enemy in my way dies 4 more ex while im doing the quests. or even better dungeon quests + lots of dungeon trash mobs=fast lvling!
heres a build i think would d good for lvling(once u hit 60 pick whatever spec you like all specs are good at that lvl)
