I think Elemental shaman should be on par with the DPS for say a Balance spec'd Drd or a Ret Pally, but given our ability to wear mail and our more than decent healing abilities I feel it would be unfair to have Elemental shaman matching up to mages, locks, or hunters who lack lesser if any healing capabilities. Don't get me wrong here, I roll a 4 Elemental Shaman team as well so I'll take any increase in DPS that Bliz wants to throw at me, but honestly this boxers feels we got it pretty good even as is at the moment. Throw in Lava Burst for DPS and Hex for CC at 80 is just icing on the cake to me.

As for Blizz Devs taking multiboxers to mind when they balance out Elemental Spec'd shaman DPS I think it's is entirely possible considering the Elemental Spec has gotten a lot more attention, as well as the shaman class itself, since this site and your videos greatly contributed to the shaman crazy of boxers in "07" and "08". That being the case though I think it would be unfair of Bliz to nerf or buff a class based on the assumption that the majority of that spec of a class are playing muliplte toons of the same spec at one time. I mean they should know that if Druids or Locks become the "flavor of the month" because 5 of them can accomplish more that shamans can most people will just reroll that class. So imo they should look at each class as it would perform from a single character perspective, and not a "what would it be like with 5 of these" kind of view. Just my thoughts.
