Wotlk - Ulduar - Halls of Lightning (HoL) - Ionar and Loken strat

You don't need awesome gear, just to have your healing set up correctly. With the right setup, you can focus on healing during the disperse-stage and do so very precisely. I've done this with both a shammie (chain heal) and a priest healer (CoH + PoM + PoH) with a mix of blue and lvl 200 AH epics, so no amazing gear required.

As for Loke I've done him the same way in blue/epics alos, but if I hadn't had the nature res totem, I would have probably needed a nature resist hat or something like that.

Yeah there's no real point in dismissing a strategy because you're team is fully decked out in amazing gear, you don't need a strategy then, just brute force everything

I have one toon with sub 14k health still, I think. A single nova does more than that, he would immediately be killed no matter how epic my healing was.

I really want to get some info out there for those who don't use shamans in their groups. I friggen love shamen, and wish I could slot one in without paying an acct-acct transfer fee to do it (on my main account, with my 5 box tank...alas). Four healing streams and a resistance totem would trivialize almost all encounters, as one shaman almost trivializes all encounters in a single box mode, hehe
