Prizm: Obviously you are ignorant of the 1.7 patch changes. My cat form is now SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful (but I'd still bear form vs. Shaman, lol). The point is that I can actually do some nice DPS!
The only thing I hate about Shamans is instant heals. My talent allows me one instant-cast Healing Touch w/ a 3 min cooldown. You, on the other hand can instant cast Healing Wave until you OOM.
But then I have Innervate. A winner is me.
Edit: my 7030 unbuffed mana pool pwns you.
Regarding the 1.7 changes, they only went into effect yesterday, so I have yet to see the effects on druids for myself.
Also, our Nature's Swiftness is exactly the same as yours. It's on the same 3 minute cooldown.
My mana pool is about 3.5 k, unbuffed. But then again, I'm level 48.

If hefner was a rich, gay, playboy and had hot steamy sex with hot guys would you choose him? Of course not, mainly because im a straight male and find that stuff gross.
Stand by my side should I fight
Strengthen my steel should I falter
Smite my back should I flee
Save my soul should I fall

And this is why the Shaman message boards are ridiculous: People don't know a friggin thing about them other than they lose to them.
99% of the time, the first page alone will have 'nerf shaman' threads containing the following:
They crit for 1200 with shocks, 3000 with arc reaper, and have 8k armor. Yeah, cuz shamans have 5 arms and 150 talent points...
They can snare and interrupt every 5 seconds! no, they share a cooldown and require talents to go from 6->5cd, it's one or the other every 5-6 seconds...
Earthbind is imba! A 5hp, 15 cd summon that can be dispelled with a right-click and can take several seconds for the slow to actually take effect (if at all)...
etc
etc
Not saying you didn't know this, just saying that more people have misconceptions about Shaman than any other class. And yes, every class has some common untruths - those Pally screenshots of 99999 damage SoC crits are NOT common, Aspect of the Cheetah is NOT faster than a mount, Warriors do NOT tank worse than priests...
There needs to be an entrance exam to the boards <_<

turbo...my god. you have reached Uber-Nerd-Dom (TM).
Strange, because there's a shaman I see in the BG a lot from the opposing guild, he chain casts an instant-cast direct-heal spell while fighting me. Wtf is that, other than some uber-awesome talent?

Yea, there is no such spell. I wish there was, but there isn't. Maybe it was just Improved Lesser Healing Wave? 1.5 second cast.

After all this talk of Shamans, I'm kind of embarrased to say I have a 44 Tauren Shaman on Medivh. But I made this character around Dec. 10th, before Shamans were so "OMGWTF PWRFUL".
I only started playing again recently, when I got a new video card for my downstairs computer. I played all thorugh August, but have had to slow down because of school.
Still working on ZF and Uld...and thats about it. Rather pathetic compared to Saka's epic geared Druid, but its what I got.
I'm starting a Horde alt, too - Orc Shaman. I'm making a guild, <FROSTSHOCKLOL>.
What server? I'm on Tichondrius.

This is a sig. Yes it is.
LHW is 1.5 cast
HW is 2.5 (or 2 if you're stupid enough to get the talent)
Chain Heal is 2.5
Healing Stream Totem is 14hp every 2 seconds.
That's all the healing spells. If they had multiple insta-heals, it would have to be potions and equipment (Jeweled Belt and the like).
Yea, there is no such spell. I wish there was, but there isn't. Maybe it was just Improved Lesser Healing Wave? 1.5 second cast.
