I am starting to wonder if wisdom vs stamina is a total false dichotomy.
How many hit points does each point of stamina give a shaman at 50 and at 60? I've read the "wisdom" over and over to put your points into stamina, but I'm definitely not convinced for other casters. Shamans are unclear to me because of the mad aggro and beats from slow on raid mobs.
For my druid and cleric, stamina is a complete waste of points. Pump up that wisdom and free up slots for hp/mana gear.
So how much is it? Do 25 points in stamina wind up giving 50 hit points or some other trivial amount? If we're going to min/max this, let's do it right.

Neither is a bad choice. stamina return at lvl 50 is weak, and at 60 it still remains relatively weak :P During classic you're more wis dependent due to your spell line and slow-casting cannibalize (recast timer is slower and chews up less health). With wisdom/dex gear I have 201 wisdom and around 200 dex without a +dex pot (full rune etched minus helm - totemic and boots - eboots), while still wielding a hammer and melee'ing. The character is used to raid, but when farming I throw on melee gear and drop to ~180wis and ~220-230 dex. In terms of classic, you're better off with higher wisdom than you are with +hp. Your AC/hp should be quite high regardless and have enough to take a few hits before it gets taunted back off. If i need to off-tank i throw on the ac/hp gear and off-tank trash comfortably.
He's right when he said achieving balanced stats are important, but it's my belief that throwing points into +wisdom at the beginning frees up inventory slots for your other stats.
Also have to keep in mind that as a shaman some of the priest gear that does include massive wis/hp/mana won't go to you until the regular clerics have it, leaving you at the middle of the line for some gear.
