Shaman downtime

[Hroth]

I'd still go alteration for solo. With roots/regen/heals/slow/malo/kragg/buffs and haste for pet, I think at worst alteration would be about even with conjuration. If you were going to solo but just root-rotting some easy con mob outdoors with no risk, conjuration would be better. But that just isn't how most shamans solo.

However if you ever group or raid at all, alteration>>>>>conjuration.
