This may be true for a non-twinked shaman, but for a twinked shaman this is not good advice. They don't even have canni until 24 so mana regen is terrible. 14-24 a twinked root rotting shaman would be basically sitting at full HP all the time which is a waste. Far more efficient to dot and melee.

Even after the melee nerf patch, at level 20+ a PWC will still be 20/28 for a shaman with no haste. At 24 Envenomed Breath is 27 a tick, max hit from a PWC would be at least 40. With SCHW, a PWC is effectively 20/23.

I tried both root/rot and root/rot/slow/melee before level 34 and hands down root/rot/slow/melee was faster xp. Fwiw my shaman isn't an ogre.
