Now, 4pc is nice if you are just getting back into your shaman as you said but dont waste the badges on gloves/pants for obvious reasons... If you are resto then either pug or spend the $$ on Belt of the Blood Nova; 10x better'n the frost badge one. The Totem is nice, as it increases spell power by 285 after 3 riptides, the cloak is nice as well... Two essential upgrades. Currently I raid with 1315 haste (using a diff. totem) and 4385 spell power, not using the 4 pc and its very hard for other healers, even Paladins, to come close to keeping up with me. Just some food for thought.
