It's not about how much you type, it's about engaging in a conversation and not just trying to win imaginary battles in your head.
As for the rest, you're still dodging my points, but at least you're trying to engage now which is a nice improvement. So let's focus on my points. 1) If it's nearly impossible for a non-raid Shaman to max Stamina (without doing a completely unrealistic all-Stamina-focused build AND that build being completely realized ... ie. the Shaman is at the end of their career) ... then it doesn't matter which stat is easier to cap.
2) If you aren't hitting the cap, then it truly comes down to which is more valuable, mana or HP ... and HP is more valuable. When "You got bad luck" (as you put it), you don't want to die: more HP helps increase the chances that you don't, while mana simply doesn't.

I am engaging in the conversation, and I am not dodging any points. Your "imaginary battle" fantasy is just silly and wrong. Please stop wasting time on it. Making up random and wrong assumptions about other people doesn't help your argument.
1. Wrong, it is not nearly impossible. Two different Magelos made by two different people with two different gear selections show this. Both Magelos do not have unobtainable raid gear for a non-raid Shaman. Every item in both of those Magelos could be obtained without raiding.
2. We are discussing 75HP vs 150-250ish Mana at level 60. Neither of those are very valuable by themselves. If 150 mana or 75HP determined the outcome of the battle, the problem wasn't your starting stats. Mana DOES increase your chances of not dying too. I have run out of Mana before due to bad resist chains. Shaman spells are expensive. That is dangerous because you may not have enough mana to gate, and not enough HP to cannibalize safely. Having an extra 200 mana means you could land 1 more slow, root, torpor, or gate. That CAN save your life.
