But....mana is becoming a problem in boss fights so I generally start off meleeing until about 75% and then start with spells if I know if I'm in for a longish fight.

I'm really, really hoping the upcoming shaman review (2.3 possibly) will sort a lot of the mana problems out although it looks like it might be more an enhancement review.

I'm on a PVE server though so PVP isn't a prime consideration for me, I plan to do AV and maybe try my hand in arena but I suspect I'll get my butt handed to me in arena a few times until I find my feet!

For PVE though, shammies seem to do quite well, will have to wait and see how heroics go but watching the Xbox vids gives me hope :-)
hm, crits restore mana (60% of spellcast mana used) + mana spring. So when u have 70 lvl avg. spellcrit 25% + 15% (17% in case u've got boomkin like I do) from totems of warth, thats 40% crit. Dont tell me it wont keep you at full mana.
