Prior to 60 and torpor a shaman heals very well btw regen, blast heals, and the mana regen from canni. Healing power is better than all but cleric but over time may even rival cleric thanks to canni in this dedicated role. It all falls apart of a fast group heavy in melee expects you to also buff, haste, and slow every mob while being the main healer. Even with a fungi and racial regen you can only do so much.
If they want a primary heal job from you, tell them you need someone else to do the rest. If you’re the only one, they have to know your limitations and turn down their expectations.
After 60/torpor? You’re functionally as good at healing most things as a cleric (better at some and worse in others) while being able to busily do the rest.
Until then I’ll echo an above poster:
-Slow it all, slow it early
-Togors > turgurs for mana efficiency
-only the buffs absolutely needed
-haste triaged to where it is needed
-accept your finite limitations
-mana not spent and saved is supremely important
Canni 4 and torpor makes you a Demi-god
