Easy solution, shamans now have the ability to wear plate!!

On a serious note, it is test realm and beta.. Things are going to get ironed out or cut completely. As every new change there is always a "OMG THIS IS OP" or "This sucks" and with the mass player complaints I find that with every new possibly exciting change, that sometimes blizzard is forced to revamp everything because of player whining.. I really only got recently excited for WOTLK.. Because the release date is official.. I find that although it's nice to get hyped up about new abilities, or realize potential nerfs early, that in the end so many things are going to get revamped it's not worth all the worry. In the end maybe our playstyle will have to slightly adjust, but it in no way means that our playstyle will completely be unplayable.
