I have both a shaman and a druid close to lvl 80 (76-75 accordingly).
I'd love to heal in PVP situations as well as PVE (maybe if i find a good guild) but mostly PVP.
Making my point, please skip this if you're not into reading.
The problem is the viability in 3.1 .
I personally find druids more enjoyable to heal with all the healing spells druids have in their arsenal for different situations. One can start casting hots all over the place, then get bored switch to castable heals like our newest tool nourish but as good as their healing viability may be, in PVP just the additional armor and the limited CC won't help against a bursty team.
However, while we're strifling to get away our hots will take care of healing for both the druid and the rest of the teammate(s) atleast at a point. Druids had 0 representation in top 10 in any specc, which realy gives me doubts.
Then there is Shaman. 5 buttons to push generally. A quick heal, an instant heal, a long heal(not for pvp maybe with nature's swiftness) a chain heal(neither or at least not as much esp in 2v2) and a passive heal - on hit (shield). While simple in this game seems to win over expertese in managing different spells to achieve something and putting down totems to help myself either with passive cleansing, slowing, protecting or buffing i still can't understand the viability of resto shamans in PVP.
With 2 speccs utterly broken(exept if you're near a cliff) and one which gained second best in PVP healing the previous season i am confuzed. I never was a resto shaman, pretbc i hardly played my shammy ( and then he was enchancement) and if the best choice in PVP is shaman i'd like some advice in healing.
Also a good specc for PVP healing would also be greatfull.
Maybe it's because i haven't given it a try yet in raids i find druids that way, but after all, i am leaning towards my shammy to heal and my druid might end up tanking at some point.
I know MMO-Champion has some pretty decent shammys posting (including moderators) so i believe you guys will live up to my expectations.

P.S. What's wrong with everyone? Most of the prevous threads is about people taking up healing. Does the season(RL) have something to do with it? :P
