it of course depends on what you are fighting. You will not need disease unless you enter VP. For most dragons in classic/kunark you really just want to focus on MR.

This is a question prolly best asked to your guild. If you are for example in TMO you want to use Rusl's numbers. If you are in a guild that does ragefire and on occasion a kunark dragon you really only need to worry about MR and 150 is a good goal, but you will still resist most fears with 100+ unbuffed. Also since you are a healer on some encounters you do not even need resists b/c you can stand behind a wall protected from the AE and still heal (for example vox, nagafen, ragefire).

I would add that you do not specify for raids. As a shaman, especially at lvl 60, you may want to solo in sebilis or other zones with many caster mobs. Resists help tremendously when fighting caster type npcs. There is no hard and fast rules for using resists in this kind of situation but MR/CR are the most useful and it may be worth wearing a few pieces that will reduce wis or hp slightly but give a nice boost to resists. I tend to wear pieces like crown of king tranix, earing of essence, etc that can give a nice boost to resists with just a few pieces in these situations.
