Answer my complex questions?

If you can down a typical mob with 1 scourge + 1 venom of the snake with no recasts you're doing well.

Shaman

Scourge = 170 mana
Venom of the Snake = 160 mana
Blizzard Blast = 200 mana .....TOTAL = 530 mana per fight (assuming no resists, you cast everything once)
(Malaisement = 100) used or not?

(Chloroplast = 200 mana)
(Talisman of Altuna = 250 mana)

(Alacrity for pet = 115 mana)
(Heals for pet?)

(Guardian Spirit = 450 mana)


Not counting root as both use it.

Cleric

Banish Undead = 225 mana x3 = 675 mana per fight (assuming no resists)

(Resolution = 110 mana)


Cleric spends an extra 145 per fight but isn't worrying about a half dozen other things. Shaman upkeep is higher, shaman fights are longer...

As I say, I'd like to see it in practice...I'm probably being too generous assuming a shaman can work off 2 dots and 1 nuke to finish a mob without having to heal his pet or take some significant downtime to let his mana/pet recharge to full.
