Are shamans annoying to play?

[bhatz01]

I've gotten a shaman to 20, and so far it has been fairly enjoyable.

My concern is that once I acquire Canni, that my life will be reduced to buff botting and canni dancing, with endless slows thrown in.

It's great to be needed, but playing a class that appears to need an extra set of hands, or bard like dexterity to manage seems a bit ADD.

Can any shamans pipe up and give their thoughts?
