For groups Shammies are buffbots yes but I would disagree with "on the other hand, my druid can dps, buff, pull, kite, root cc, port, etc on a raid" - the only thing the Shammy can't do better than a druid is port...

Druids are better kiters, pullers, root cc and snare/kite cc on a raid than a shaman is. DPS probably as well. But shamans own them in healing, slowing and melee debuffs

Eh it really depends on the person. For casters yea natureskin / group regrowth own. But shamans have dex / sta / focus / haste. So for melee they're more important (then again chanter haste is better)

the nice thing about a high end shaman is he can play the roll of a healer and crowed control ie) used instead of a cleric or enchanter. As far as raids go, they arent the top priority must have class *as long as you have 1 in raid. where as dps, tanks, clerics u need multiples of

Shamans are amazing, most of the reasons why have been covered.

The server may have balanced out a bit, but there was a huge amount of shamans for a long time because they solo so well. So they are definitely not rare. That may be something to take into consideration, but they are definitely a powerful class and great for so many situations.
