If you or anyone else wanna be a Necrolord Enhancement Shaman, then it falls into the same principle: it fits your ideal playstyle, fantasy or whatever criteria, so go maximize under those parameters.
3 - Covenants are a fundamental difference of power, and so are specs and Class. Yet you are a Shaman. Use whatever reasoning that led you into a Shaman to be a Necrolord Enhancement. If you think you can't because of power differences, but magically those power differences don't influence your class choice, then this whole problem is irrational. What, you min-maxing starts at spec/covenant but stops at class? Weird.
4 - Covenants being hard to swap are a cornerstone of this expansion, and it rewards commitment. It was a long, old complaint of the community that our choices were inconsequential, and as you prove, the players love to chose only the most powerful - hence why this choice affects power among other things.
