Yes, and I believe one important point was lost in our discussion, which was probably my fault. Shaman melee isn't very good if you are running around with banded armor, no haste item, and a weapon with a 0.33 ratio. And I am not trying to argue about how it worked on live. I played a warrior from 1999 to 2005, so I can't say how Shamans worked back then.
I am simply pointing out priest melee, especially Shaman melee, is actually pretty good on P99 with a haste item and a poison wind censor or granite face grinder until your 40s. On P99 it is quite easy to get those items, even as a new player. It isn't like you need to spend 100k to get to a good spot with melee. It typically is better than yout DoTs, which are honestly quite bad until your 40s. But obviously the DoTs are better if you have really bad gear.

Honestly, I feel the gear I listed above overperforms on P1999 compared to what it would do on live - and consequently the gear you list is even better again compared to classic times.
