Messianic, I'm not really sure if you're trolling because if in fact you've read these guides, and considering your 2500 posts on these forums, I assumed you had internalized that, 12 years on, it is generally regarded that mana is one of the weakest stats in the game for any class, let alone Shaman. The only two classes that maximum mana makes any real difference with is Wizards and Druids, because they can kill 4 mobs at a time rather than 1.
HPs, though, NEVER become obsolete. It doesn't have a hard cap, a soft cap, nothing. You can get enough AC, you can get enough resists for your chosen raid, but you can never get enough HPs to the point that they become less effective. Especially for Shaman who can do so very much with them.
That alone would put Stamina in the highest priority but then you have the fact that Stamina is easily the hardest attribute to raise through itemization. By mid-Velious, you will have maximum Wisdom on a freaking Ogre, anyway.
