Agree, stop playing Shaman before too late! Switch to something else. Like Warlock or Druid.

<- Main was a Shaman.

Most teams would think carefully about weighing the benefits of Bloodlust against the liabilities of actually bringing a Shaman into arena.

The main problem of Shaman, other than the lack of CC or the ability to get away from being CC-ed, is that almost all our spells are Nature based. One timed counterspell or spell lock and you have basically shut down the Elemental or Restoration Shaman's entire arsenal.

Eh, no one is disputing the Shaman's damage capabilities. But arena and PVP isn't about bursting the other guy's HP anymore (something Shamans were great at pre-TBC), now it's more on survivalbility and crowd control (which Shamans still don't have).
