I was just trolling you with the flawed thing

Actually being able to play her class normally and do her job and have fun trumps any on-paper efficiency . . . Can your Shamans confidently malo on pull, as soon as the target's in range, then spam Turgur's half a dozen or more times in a row as fast as cooldown permits without fear of death?

The VP weapons are good, but not that good. My sperglord calculator suggests that Epic/Shissar is 81 hate/sec, while a Sarnak Warhammer/Silken Whip combo (typical for a leveling warrior) is about 65. So, a nice 20-25% boost but not game changing. A shaman chaining Turgur's every 9 seconds will pull about 700/9 = 78 hate/sec. So in principle the math works.
In reality, the warrior aggro is very inconsistent. Some times you proc 3x in the first 10s and nothing the shaman or wizard does will matter. Sometimes you don't proc at all, and then it sucks. Without any procs at all Sakuragi is like 50 hate/sec, well below the Shaman Threshold. The SW/SW leveling warrior is probably like 40 - even worse. So if you are a shaman playing with a warrior, you can't autopilot malo/turgurs/malosini/turgurs etc. You have to watch the warrior for that casting animation that signifies the procs. The good news is, with a hybrid you *have* to chain slow because they are getting pasted. With a warrior, who cares? They can pop their disc and tank it unslowed the whole way if they have to. And who cares about the offensive casters? Wizards have concussion. Mages should be chaining the burnt wood staff. Druids will usually have other things to do. And mana regen is so slow that they have no excuse for not waiting.
Again, my point is this: you can't play on autopilot with a warrior tank, but if you are willing to pay attention it works out fine.
