It's all been explained before. If you do a tiny bit of research you will find why most shamans prefer stamina as a starting stat over wisdom. Survivability is big for Shamans. We get hit a lot soloing and raiding. I can always make more mana, I can't always survive a flurry of attacks. Mana pools are for druids and clerics, not for Shamans.

I raid with 148 wisdom, and I never have a problem with too little mana. When i solo/farm I have about 135 wisdom and I never have a problem.

If you med a lot, you probably want a bigger mana pool... and you are playing your shaman incorrectly. You should be standing with chloro and rage on at all times and cannibalizing if you are not casting another spell.

Edit: before some one comes in here and splits hairs about my not meditating comment I will add... some shamans try to med on the server tick, and it's an awesome little trick... but requires way too much attention to the server tick and not to what's going on around you. If you can do it, great. I don't.

You use Rage? Even with c2 I can't out mana regen the -mana flow on that spell. How exactly are you using it?
