The live advice for Shaman was to "Cann-dance", and that did involve lots of sitting, but Shaman here understand the mechanics of clickies refreshing spells (eg. Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring), and they've realized that it's faster to just spam Cannibalize while standing than to bother with the dance.

Canni-dance is very important pre-Torpor and still relevant even then. If you're not doing it, then you're usually playing sub-optimally. Canni twice inbetween every med tick creates a better mana/health expenditure ratio. If you are a 60 Shaman with Torpor and not taking any outside damage, then sure there are times you can just spam Canni 4 (or even before Torpor if you happen to be full health at a certain time, then you can Canni-spam down first, before you start the Canni-dance chain). However, if you are taking other damage or don't have the time to keep Torpor on yourself constantly, then missing out on the regen from sitting ticks is a less efficient way of playing.
Granted, it's annoying as hell to play a Shaman perfectly, constantly clicking non-stop with exact timing, but it is better.
