No, you're clearly not. Danth's entire point was that not all Shaman are the same.

Some solo tough mobs repeatedly to farm loot. Some solo really tough mobs for the thrill of doing it. Some solo boring stuff (eg. they farm Droga). Some group. And some even raid.

And even between those there are differences: we've already noted that soloing Sebilite Protectors is (or at least might be) noticeably different from soloing Sebilis Crypt or A4.

But you said:

... as if there was one "best answer for all Barbarian Shaman".

There is no "one best for everyone": you can be arguing apples are best, and I'm arguing oranges are, and neither of us are wrong because we're talking about different fruit.

So again: best for who?

Actually, I've said repeatedly that Stamina/HP keeps you alive, Wisdom/mana doesn't, and in all the fights I listed the hard part is surviving long enough to land a slow. None of that has anything to do with my toon, who was simply an example.

So IF we're talking about a Shaman who plans to kill WW Dragons, or farm thrones in PoM, or farm Crypt in Seb late at night (when no groups are there), or do any similar fight, more HP is best for them.

But if you truly think you can hit max Stamina AND still have all the other things a Shaman would want (including lots of +HP, clickies, regen, ...) AND you can do it without high-end raid gear ... just make a Magelo and show it.
