The most fun I've had was playing 4x mages & a priest. Stuff just disapears, no tank needed until outlands.
4x pom pyro is just evil. Instant Arcane explosion, & blastwave are quite fun as well.

Once they hit 70, they didn't quite scale out the way I thought they would.

Playing shammies now. Much less fun to level & the "OMGWTFBBQ" isnt quite as tasty as it was on the mages, but I hear that changes
as you hit 70 & get geared , which was the opposite of what happened with me & the mages.

Overall I think it boils down to what you like to play, & I like to play mages.
I've come form the other side - 4 locks and a priest. Locks kinda lack the OMGWTFBBQ that mages do - I mean sure, you can spam shadowbolts but it just doesn't feel the same - mages defintely have the "PEW PEW" factor with their spells.

Shamans seem to be the middle road - they have one PEW PEW spell - chain lightning, and it rocks! Especially when lightning overload procs on multiple toons, it's like "break out the jam cuz this guy is toast". Earth Shock has a PEW PEW sound but lacks the visual oomph to go with it. Lightning bolt seems kind of lame - in fact it lighting ball would be a better description for the spell.

That being said, I'm definitely loving playing the shams and they seem to scale a bit better than the locks as well.

Cheers,
