The journey to 34 is painful, though, god damnit. I leveled a shaman to 27 before the Affliction nerf and it was a breeze. Leveled another one to 30 in the past couple of weeks and it was pitiful. Until 24, your best DoTs tick for 6 and 8. You just can't root-rot with that, and it's only because I geared correctly and was able to melee to 24 that it was at all tolerable. You can always group, but that's equally dreary when you don't get your group-centric spells until 29. The shaman class doesn't really become decent until 29, and doesn't become good until 34. Then it just keeps getting better and better, of course.
