Do not despair. What has already been said is right. Shamans are horribly under-powered 9 to 23. The only real saving grace is SoW - you should not have to die too often.
From 24 to 33 you are better off - I wouldn't say terribly weak, but nor would I say terribly string.
At 34, suddenly you become a strong class. It remains this way through 59.
At 60, if you can get Torpor, you become very strong indeed.
So, grit your teeth and grind out the lower levels, it gets better later.
