Hello everyone
I am leveling a shaman at the moment, level 67, and i am resto speced to obviously heal whenever i can.
At the moment, healing is mostly earthshield on tank, and than sometimes klick chainheal oooor healing wave, only in realy rare situations lhw is needed.
I looked now at the new shaman talents and thought a bit about it, but some people here with their better knowledge about shaman healers and especialy also the experience of raiding with them could help me with my thoughts.
At the moment raiding looks like Shamans are mostly used for chainhealing melee groups + tanks, druids hot everything, paladins are perfekt for pointhealing and priests are a good mix of all of that.
Could shamans also get into the row of good fast point healers COMPERABLE (not the same, just to make it clear) with paladins?
I worked on a leveling/soon endgame spec for people who enjoy healing but also whant to kill some things solo, and it might even be good for raiding, but here i miss the experience of healing in raids:
Level:

soon endgame:

As small explanation: As you mention, elemental focus now also works on heals, and with the resto tallents you also get 14% crit on your healing spells alone from talents. +Inteligent extra heal on crits + Armor on crits.
That + an verry strong earthshield and the capability of still doing chainheal if needed, could make lhw spam on a specific target much more efficient in wotlk.
My question now is: What do more expirienced Shaman Players or Theoriecraft specialists think of that?
