I have semi retired my shamies for the same reasons, I'm done with anything that they could do, running heroics is a blast the first 100 times, but starts to get dull later. So I am raiding with my druid and leveling alts. But content will not be able to come fast enough for us I think. By the time Uldur is out, People will not only have full sets of 25 gear ( raiders ), they will off complete off sets and all their alts twinked out in 25 man gear. If the next expansion is 2+years away, I'm sure ill be doing something else long before then 8\

I do find it very useful to have my team for my tradeskill needs. And i still love to 5 box demolishers in WG 8)
