Beta players: Should I switch 1 sham for a mage?

[Stealthy]

thanks for the input so far guys - no one mentioned CC, that about the same factor as it is today - or bigger or smaller?

You're aware that Shaman's get CC in WotLK right? And that it's far superior to polymorph?

Hex150 Mana 20 yd range
1.5 sec cast 45 sec cooldown
Transforms the enemy into a frog. While hexed, the target cannot attack or cast spells. Damage caused may interrupt the effect. Lasts 30 sec. Only one target can be hexed at a time. Only works on Humanoids and Beasts.

Two things to note here - target doesn't heal while hexed (unlike poly) and damage may break it.

This comment was posted on WoWhead:

Used on a level 78 Mammoth in Storm Peaks at full health, killed it without Hex ever breaking.

Dueled a level 79 mage friend, hexed and him won the duel in < 10 seconds without hex breaking.

Obviously this won't happen all the time, but it does open up some awesome nuke - hex - nuke combo's.

Cheers,
