Shaman vs. Cleric

[xaxis]

I'll try to make this succinct. I've just started on P99 (loving it so far) but I'm torn between shaman and cleric. As I'm just starting out I'm not overly invested in either character but I want to commit to a character, not play AltQuest (yet). I'll list pros and cons for each (as I see them) but feel I should also mention I have no intent on ever raiding so keep that in mind please.

Shaman (troll):
+Super solo (whatever, wherever)
+Uber buffs
+Versatile play style
-No clear group role (I can do everything but don't know what I'm expected to do)
-Evil power (will never roll barbie) = Travel restrictions
-Rediculous amount of shamans out there

Cleric (dwarf):
+Soloability (vs. Undead, if I have to)
+Uber heals
+Clearly defined role
+Easy Travel
-Soloability is restricted/dependent
-On the back lines so not ninja proof (dunno how legit this point is but it is a consideration that occurred while reading a wiki guide)
-Generally more dependant

All of these are experiences, opinions, or concerns so if any of it is inaccurate I'm looking to be corrected. Thanks in advance!
