From responses seen, clearly they think mastery will be fine, but looking at how they itemized tier/etc in the past(including current tier), they clearly had to think mastery was good for shaman to do so(The old line of at the start of the expansion gear won't have perfect stats but by the last tier it will comes to mind, and for shaman, they tried to stuff mastery down throats - Clearly they must think mastery's performance is much greater than it actually is)
I would suspect their problem with mastery's performance is they are making the very big mistake of not including the effects of other healers(Because mastery is fantastic, if you're solo healing, but as you add more healers, suddenly people's health goes up, especially if those healers heals can land before yours)
