Cisco ASA 5520 QoS Priority with Outbound Policing Policy

Recently I configured my ASA so that it matches my 100Mbit upload at a Gigabit Uplink and its working perfect (no longer dropping packets).

Now I need the above solution to work with priority queues, and not reserving bandwidth.

What I want is to be able to use my full 100MBit as I do now, but if certain traffic types are used, they get a priority, not always 100% but a certain percentage or a certain limit.

Example If im downloading via Newsgroup, Microsoft Download Manager, or plain browser and thats all, I want my full 100Mbit available, but if Im downloading and playing Wow, or NetFlix, or on the phone, I want to give a priority to the traffic, but not kill it off, also SIP Phones via SIP/H323 etc

Mind sending me an example of the service policy Id use, couple example?

AFAIK, you can't do the classification and prioritization in the ASA.  The ASA can honor DSCP information sent from other devices and pass that through properly, but unless your ISP is marking traffic, or unless you put a router in front of the firewall to classify and mark traffic, I'm not sure you can accomplish what it sounds to me like you're looking for.
