Iksar shaman is a great choice. Jaundiced Bone Bracers won't be available to the plebs for a very long time anyways, so making your choice based on that isn't really that valuable anyways.
My Blue shaman is an Iksar and no regrets here. Once Velious comes out farm yourself a Guardian Robe and win FashionQuest ie win the game.
