I see what you are saying Khaz, sorry bout that. In fact, i'm kinda glad more people don't like this combo, makes it more unique to use. Is 2% worth it? IMO- hell yeah. Even if that were all you gained.

For the others- this post has been about 5 boxing. When you have 4 shamans, you don't exactly run out of grounding totems before everything is dead. If you did happen to face a zerg of casters- it really doesn't take much time to *click* and get four new ones. Also, when instancing- its actually my druid that rarely goes oom. Synergy... two very similar cast styles... sorry haven't found much of a conflict.
