First day in 5v5, 4 shaman

So after failing miserably in a few ridiculous attempts with hunter + 4sham, I picked up the S2 mace and some healer candidates, finally settling for a priest with several S4 parts.

Let's just say.. WHOA!

I'm in greens/blues and a silly glowing mace, and I'm blowing up S3/S4 warriors and druids. :)
Games with healers ended with about 7-4, stopping at rating 1456.

Making lots of mistakes.. using chain heal (sucks).. forget to pop heroism.. forget to refresh groundings, etc etc.. still, it's going pretty good.


Also, this is on Cyclone BG in EU, which is insanely competitive. All in all, I'm quite pleased.

Just wait until you get pvp gear. You feel unkillable against 90% of your opponents.

Only a well coordinated 5v5 team with tons of CC and full S3 destroys me now. And after every loss, I still feel like I could have won.

Cool! I feel very killable now, sometimes rogues get me in seconds.

Now that I'm in crap gear, I have speced in the 6% crit defense talent, and skipped Unrelenting Storm. Is this a good idea?
I have in some arena matches experienced severe mana problems when I haven't killed at least 3 opposing players when I go OOM.
