Lol I agree with Loramin. Cripple is really only worth casting on certain raid mobs.
Shamans have limited flexibility on their spell bar. Typically speaking you will always have Torpor, Cannibalize 4, Malo, and Turgur's Insects memorized. This leaves only 4 spell slots for Root, Dots, Insidious Decay, and maybe Gate.
Unfortunately the Cripple line of spells simply does not reduce enough damage for it to be worth putting on your spell bar for most situations in Solo/Group play.
Root or another DoT will typically end up reducing more damage in the long run, as you either don't get hit due to the mob being rooted, or you kill the mob faster via the extra DoT. Since the mob dies faster, you take less damage that way.
There may be rare situations where Cripple could work in Solo/Group play, but I have yet to come across it personally.
