while it's true the shamans are op, skill accounts for the majority of one's success - not which toons you chose.

Take Maxion for example - he cleared HToC 1 day after dinging 80, and got something like 20+ heroic acheivements over the next 3 days .... what a jerk! (just kidding max where's my hidef HToC video?? )

I love theorycrafting, but it hasn't actually helped me much ... the sad truth for me is that I just need to get better (more practice, less theorycrafting). There's guys here that are doing things (like Kromotor @ 2200+ rating by himself) that continue to amaze and motivate me. You can rock pretty much any comp you come up with (as long as it has a shamn in it ).
