How do Barbarian Shamans and their toys hold up in Velious?

Iksars get a little better too because they can wear the good stuff.

But that's if you want to solo. Doesn't really matter what race you are on most of the important Velious raid encounters... AoW you'll be boxing a cleric or if you're dead weight to your guild and no one trusts you, then you'll be chain casting ice nukes to add .1% dps. Vulak you'll just be curing disease. Vyemm you'll just smoke a blunt and watch yourself get flung around a room. Aaryonar is one of the few important encounters that come down to shaman skill, and that just lies in being the first one to land a slow and not getting mana drained like a noob. Ventani you get to shrink everyone and then afk behind the ledge with your MQ2 /patchheal macro.

You're forgetting the vital role of healing the clerics who are chaining mod-rods. It's the druids prerogative to re-roll clerics.
