What should I do against Shadow Reflectors?
Having your spells reflected isn't always a crushing thing to deal with. Against rogues, you can reflect a siphon life to make yourself blind/gouge resistant for 30s and if you get time to shadow ward, it will actually heal you on reflect. Against s-priests or warlocks, you can reflect curse of recklessness to make yourself fear immune. Additionally, they might be immune to shadow, but they won't be immune to grenades, rocket helms, tidal charms, etc.
It's not always easy to respond to one in the heat of the moment (I don't come close to par with responding appropriately to reflector) but it's definitely a good habit to associate class + reflector = response
