For 15 seconds it's awesome. The rest of the time it's mediocre compared to DK's and a lot of chasing people around instead of gripping them to you, and no good CC. However it's really the only arena viable spec because you can instakill anything once you are geared - DK's can't do that even with all CD's up and obliterate 4x crit, it still falls short of a kill. But the overall uptime of DK's is great and makes them suitable for BGs, world pvp, and everything else.
As I already have 5x melee DPS I went resto on my shaman. As outside of arenas it's 1-3 globals max for 5x DKs to kill, I don't see the point of 4 more melee.
In my tests so far, resto shaman are Insane when stacked. Healing stream totem, the weak one, is 20-40k+ per tick. Healing tide is 45-90k+ per tick. Multiply that by four. Pop ascendance in resto and all healing is duplicated and distributed among the party. With 4 resto shaman you can chain heal for like 1 million, instant cast. 4x greater healing wave with ascendance is a full party lay on hands, probably close with a 10 man raid. I'm still working on my setup with resto healing my DKs but I'm excited about it so far. Besides the healing you have windwalk totem and tremor totem to support the group, and a few other nice tricks![]()
