I agree no serious player is going to totally focus on one statistic to the exclusion of all else. Stamina does buff easier. You can get 50 stamina from riotous health, and another 50 using alchemy if you really want to. Meanwhile a shaman's wisdom buff is only 10. Countering the truth that running out of health is worse than running out of mana is the other truth that any serious solo'er doing something really hard is going to have heal clicks like stinging wort at the ready to cover damage spikes and slow resist chains. Recovering mana in a hurry is rather more problematic.
As a rule a solo shaman will tend to favor armor and health, while a duo or grouper shaman will tend to favor mana pool. I prefer to achieve such focus through gearing. A barbarian shaman going 25 wisdom and 5 stamina at creation starts with 105 to both--a nice enough starting point that provides good flexibility for a player to gear himself with either focus and not hamstring himself should he change his mind later on.
