The Truth About Paladin Talents

Well I've played all three trees for my shaman, never tried a multiple tree build though(besides my 5 points in enhancement right now to give me more mana.) I respecced to restoration at level 43, bought all new gear, got tons of mana, and now I'm pretty much a killing machine PvE. I don't really care much for PvP, so I'm not sure how effective I am, but every fair fight I've been in I've won(fair meaning within 3 or so levels of me and not a whole group of people. I get ganked by 60s all of the time but that isn't because I suck.)

I'd have to say that shamans are my favorite class(and I've played all of them, I've got one of each for the horde and I've tried paladin as I stated above.) They are so all-around that I can basically do anything I want, by myself or in a group. I was main healer in ZF a couple of days ago at level 46, and ran out of mana only once. I can be back-up healer, throwing down totems for support and still doing a fair amount of damage, or I can just be purely DPS if I have to. I could probably even be a tank if needed, just not the best. Shamans can't really be the BEST at anything. Priests are always better healers, rogues/mages always have better DPS(I think so anyway, I've given a few a run for their money), and warriors/druids are always better tanks, but I like being able to do all of those things at once, it never gets boring. A warrior never gets to save a party by being a great healer, and a priest never gets to tank a boss for their party or anything like that, but I can do just about anything I want.

I don't claim to be a pro so any of the above information could be incorrect.
