Just starting on a shaman. The primary reason I didn't play a bard was I didn't want to twist. Is it viable to shaman without this craziness (just a bit slower?). Would I be better off on a druid?
You play a Shaman badly - stand up and canni-spam using a clickie (or not canni at all). You'll probably do ok. BUt you won't be getting the most from your shaman.

Played correctly a Shaman is just as active as a Bard - often more so. If you are not casting non-stop for hours on end, you aren't playing to your full potential. It pays off, at 60 when you stop having to time canni-dance to med ticks and can actually do canni-spam efficiently, you will be using your clickie as much to chain cast spells as to reactivate a new canni.
