Ya'll just keep feeding into DSM's Shaman bias and he's loving every minute of it. This is no different then when he tried to mathematically convince us that Ogres are the best shaman race at 60.
The facts are simple, shaman's are a great duo class due to their healing/utility. But in a bigger group with a cleric/enchanter involved, they simply are not needed. Torpor snare/slow sucks & should be avoided at all costs if you can help it.
The biggest use I've seen for a shaman when a cleric/enchanter are present was in a full group, where it was actually most efficient to have the shaman doing the pulling so the real dps could do its work and the shaman could at least heal themselves. But I'd much rather have a necro doing this pulling role, which luckily in this 4 man equation we can add them to the mix. Shadowbond can easily be used to supplement heals if needed if the cleric feels like being lazy and nuking hehe.
