not so good in raids

This doesn't really tell the whole story. Smelly is probably referring to zerg raids of 50+ people attacking a dragon or a god, in the sense that no, that raid of 50 people doesn't want 8 shamans along if they could have 3 shamans and 5 more clerics or rogues.
But raiding, especially in classic, is as much about clearing fear and hate trash and later sky as it is about killing vox, naggy, ct, and inny. And guilds that do that stuff aren't always a megaraid or a guild that has more than enough clerics around to handle all the healing duties. Etc. In those situations, playing a sham in a raid isn't just going to mean you're one of 5+ shamans when the raid only really needs 2; it means everyone needs to pull their weight to get things done, even if you aren't the main tank, casting CHs, pulling, or backstabbing.
