Shaman is a busy class, and fairly complicated to play well, but I'm not sure I'd call it stressful. Activities like canni--torpor--canni become more or less muscle memory after you've done it for awhile. It's not the same thing as the local Enchanter having some charmed/hasted pet that can break and bite his face off at any given moment.
Shaman is a wretchedly expensive class, however, if you want to deck it out in top-grade equipment and get all the spells without having to get them as drops. That should factor in to anyone electing to play one as a main.
