Actually, I think this might be a better build (Archaeo suggested it on IRC):

Dormant Oracle, 4F4W9S, Domstr 9
3 Order
3 Sloth
3 Growth
1 Misfortune
2 Drain

The loss of quickness on the shadow vestals hurts considerably, but the extra money (and theurg life expectancy) is muy nice, and +2 attack is nothing to sneeze at. You don't go through indies *quite* as viciously but it's still not at all bad.
That only has 1 better net scale and 1 higher dominion than the dual bless build. For example, you could take 1 more misfortune and 1 less dominion and get a dual bless again.
I'd much rather have the quickness and slightly worse scales. Quickness allows you to transverse the battlefield much faster. It also makes it easier to mow down the opponent when they're trying to flee which is extremely important. With a small army of sacreds it can be difficult to win a battle decisively without quickness, as you might route the opponents, but then they just run away.
