My shaman has neither epic nor JBB and had no problems leveling. It's quite nice but it's more or less just a tool for leveling faster. It also adds some good utility at 60 when soloing. I do cry when I see shamans chain clicking their JBB in groups where their time is better spent slowing, healing, buffing, canni-ing and meddling.
Even in a duo I'd wager you'd do faster over time just by playing the support game with a hasted max summon dog pet. I parsed the level 49 pet at max summon, stat buffed, and 40% alacrity around 15-20 dps in Karnors.
I could have afforded a JBB, but i prioritized an ikky regen bp and saving for a fungi over buying one.
